Stencil T-shirt with ColorArtz Airbrush Kit

Level: Darn easy
Designed by: Terri O

Yet another way to add your own touch to your duds. With the airbrush kit you can use one the many different stencils or you can make up your own. Finding things around the house to use is really fun and creates lots of different looks. Combine them for something really different!

Craft Supplies Needed:

• ColorArtz Fabric Airbrush Kit
• T-Shirt
• ColorArtz Stencils
• Anything you can think of to use as a stencil (lace, paper dollies, mesh, or make your own)
• Paper or cardboard to cover work surface

Project Instructions:

1. Read the directions and assemble the canned air spray gun
2. Lay your t-shirt out flat
3. Apply the stencil to the fabric
4. Protect the rest of your t-shirt if you don’t want it painted. Use paper towels and tape
5. Use the narrow spray on the paint pouch for smaller designs in the stencils. Try to work as close to the shirt as possible when trying to paint only one part of the stencil. Cover the rest of the stencil if you can or want to
6. If making your own stencil or using something that you found. Test out the design first on a piece of paper. Make sure it won’t blow away from the shirt from the airbrush

Terri O Tips:

• No need to heat set your t-shirt
• I also found that the paint dries very quickly so you can roll and move your shirt around
• Use repositionable adhesive or tape to secure your own paper stencil
• Once you have used your stencil, place it on a piece of wax paper so you can use it again
• If your stencil loses its "sticky" you can buy a stencil adhesive by Delta at the craft store

LifeShare Card Embellishment Tips

Level: Easy
Designed by: Terri O

When you design your card on line you have the option of sending it directly to the person you designed it for OR, you can send it to yourself. If you do that you can add that extra, extra special touch. Here are a few tips for embellishing your LifeShare cards.

• If you create a card with a glossy finish some adhesives work better than others on a slick surface. I would use regular Elmer’s glue, pop dots or foam squares or a Xyron. Glue sticks and some adhesive runners don’t work as well.
• Keep in mind that when you embellish your card you want to make sure you stay within the size of the card. Otherwise you might have trouble fitting it into the envelope.
• Creating dimension is what embellishing is all about. Before you mail your card shake it and move it so you are sure your embellishments are going to stick. You don’t want to send a card that will fall apart in the mail.
• For elaborate embellishments I like to add a plain piece of card stock to place it over the top of the card. That way it protects your design.
• Creativity is what it is all about. If you have certain embellishments you want to use you can design your card around them!
• If you love this product share it with a friend. Send them a card and include a picture they may have never seen. It is a great way to introduce them to LifeShare.
