I’ve got 2 t-shirts that I was going to do something “arty” with for my sis-in-law, but the original plan got KiBoshed, and she said I could try an Acrylic Pour on ’em.
First, I did this TEST pour on one of my own t-shirts. (I did it as a 3-part Video on InstaGram if you want to watch it there – @chermckittrick .)
Things I Learned:
Do NOT wet the t-shirt first; I think this is making it bleed, but I won’t be sure till it dries.
It might be better to do it with the t-shirt laying flat, but that would mean I couldn’t have drips down the back.
Don’t use any orange, stick to pink, blue, yellow, and purple – the orange muddies some of the other colors.
These pics were taken minutes after the pour, so I have no idea what it’s going to dry like. I’ll let it set for 3-4 days, then throw it in the dryer, on high, to really set the colors.
The end result should be interesting!!!!!!!!!!
No, not really. I have total confidence in you and look forward to seeing the real deal. ..if you have time and interest.
Oh yeah, I love this project. I’m going to do another test on one of my t-shirts first, tho’
And here I thought you were making it for me….sis-in-law
Ha, yeah, I thought of that as I posted it. Want one??
Cool .. I think the dry shirt is the ticket and I think it looks rad .. very 60’s and very cool .. I agree with the orange making it muddy .. love to see the final product
What a great idea.
