There are many ways to alter your clothing once a stain has hit it. One of my favs is to paint over the stain in some design. I realize a lot of people have limited painting skills, so this is an easy alteration that pretty much anyone can do to fix your clothes.
You will need:
~ Your Stained Shirt
~ Paints (preferably acrylic)
~ Textile Medium (to mix with the paint so that it doesn't fade in the wash. It's possible to leave it out, however the paint won't stay as vibrant)
~ Newspaper/cardboard/etc. basically something to put in between the 2 layers of cloth so the paint doesn't seep through.
~ Egg Carton to mix the paints and something to mix them up with.
1. Choose your garment. It could basically be any type of clothing (shirts, sweaters, pants, skirts, etc), however, I find corduroy and fleece a little more difficult to paint on because they're not a flat surface. Bottom line: EXPERIMENT! If you don't wear the item already b/c there's a stain on it, what have you got to loose?
2. Choose your color paints. I like to have about 3 different colors for this "flower" style painting, but the skies the limit! Let your imagination be your guide.
4. Get in there! Lightly dab the tip of a finger in one of the colors and press over the stain on the cloth. I like to use one finger per color so the colors don't all meld together. Grab another color and lightly dab onto your garment, making petals for your flowers.
5. Design. Spread the flowers out over your shirt, spacing them accordingly. You might want flowers over your heart as well, on pockets, the back of your shoulder, again, this is up to you. It's your expression of who you are.
