Summery Neon Stripe Shirt Upcycle

I'm not typically one to jump on a trend, but I just so happened to have four little bottles of neon paint, and one thing just led to another... I'll pretend that every single one of you does love to follow trends, so guess what?! I've just made your day. And your spring/summer wardrobe. You're about to take your most boring, bored, tired shirt and turn it into a fun, springy new addition to your clothing lineup.

wow this is really great , i've been trying to add some pizaz to my plain shirts and this is going on my list for sure. Just a tip, try using painters tape to prevent the imperfections, also really great for making a american flag design .

Painter's tape is a great idea, fonzuzu!

I just love how that pops out on a black shirt :)

Thanks, Penelopy! I thought it was a little more unique than the typical white tee!
