I have decided to design a t-shirt with an image of my choice on it. My
reason for choosing this specific craft is because I wanted to challenge myself
as I have never worked with fabric paint before let alone painting on any kind
of fabric. I enjoy painting and that’s why I chose to do painting as my craft. I have always wanted to design my own t-shirt
and this craft helped me to do so. I have chosen The Joker because I am
extremely fascinated by the character; something about him makes me want to
keep knowing more.
Overall I enjoyed making a craft even though there were some speed bumps
along the way. If I had the chance to do it all over again I would, simply
because I would now know what to expect when a craft like this has to be made
from scratch.
To Make Your Own T-Shirt You Will Need The Following:
- 1 Plain white t-shirt (any size of your choice)
- 4 different colours of fabric paint (Light Blue, Dark Blue, Rave White, Light Green) (The colour of choice is completely up to you. I have given the colours which i have used)
- 1 paint brush (medium to small size)
- 1 picture of the joker
- 1 pencil (HB/4B)

| This is the image I have chosen |
Step 1
Place the t-shirt on a flat surface. have the image of the joker next to you or oppose you, you must be able to see it clearly.
Step 2
Slowly draw the image on the t-shirt. Be sure to keep the t-shirt steady as possible as it will move while you are drawing on it. (For those who are not good at free hand drawing, you can always use a light box to help you)
Step 3
Once the image is drawn on, you may now start to add the fabric paint where necessary. It is best to start painting from the inside working your way out, this way you do not smudge anything.
Step 4
When you have finished painting the image on the t-shirt, leave it to dry over night.
The finished product should look like the image below:
