Watermark T Shirt

Make this fun t shirt in just a few steps. I found this project on u-createcrafts.com

You will need:
A plain white t shirt
Elmer's Blue Gel Glue (must use this type of glue)
Fabric Dye
A piece of cardboard or plastic to place in between your shirt

Step 1: Write or Draw on your T shirt

Wet your t shirt thoroughly and ring out. Place your cardboard or plastic (I used a plastic garbage bag) in between your shirt so the Blue Gel Glue does not go through to the back of the shirt.

Write a name, a poem, a quote or draw a simple picture with the Blue Gel. Let dry completely...can take up to a couple of hours.

Hmm. Maybe the outline of the text would be more defined if we used glue gun? What do you think? :)

well, it's a special glue you have to use so you would have to try to transfer that glue to a glue gun...that won't work.

I wonder if it would work with a glue gun, not sure the glue would wash away

Yes, most people think that's what this is.

Oo love this idea. Going to have to try this in one of my projects.

Thanks! Another idea that might be fun for kids is to have them draw a simple image on a piece of paper with a thick black marker or crayon and then place that paper underneath the shirt. You should be able to see the drawing through the shirt so you can trace over it with the glue. Working with the blue gel glue can sometimes be a little tough and this technique might be easier for kids.

I can't wait to try this! I work as a Nanny, and I am always looking for creative things to do with the children. Thanks for posting..........
