Introduction: Tire Track T-shirts

About: Hello my name is Bob and I like to make things. www.youtube.com/bobbee

In this Instructable I show you how to make shirts with a tire track print.

For the project you need:

  • a tire (or the complete car with a tire)
  • a shirt
  • fabric paint
  • a paint roller
  • masking tape
  • some cardboard
  • a flat surface

In this video I show you how to make the tire track prints with a car tire.

Along with the video you can follow the (easy) steps below :-) Youtube Video

Step 2: Prepare Your T-shirt

Place your shirt on a flat surface ( I use some wood) and insert a piece of cardboard. (so the print won’t push trough to the back).

Step 3: Mask the Parts You Don't Want to Print

With some masking tape (and some paper) you can mask the parts you don’t want to print, like the collar. Also tape the shirt to the surface so it won’t move.

Step 4: Align

Try to find a wheel which will leave a nice pattern/track onto your shirt.
Align the t-shirt behind the wheel in the position you like the track to go.

Step 5: Apply Paint

Get your paint roller, and apply the fabric paint to the tire.

Step 6: Print

Now the most fun part of all; start your car and run over the t-shirt.

Step 7: Cure the Print

Now you can remove your shirt and let it dry. when it’s dry iron it to cure the print.

Step 8: Done

That's it :-)
