Puffy Paint Tank

My tutorial from this week was inspired by this amazing tank top found over at Alisa Burke. I loved it so much, and it looked easy enough so I thought I would give it a go!


Supplies:
-tank top (got mine for $4 at Walmart)
-one or two colors of puffy paint


Steps:

Step 1: Secure your tank top down to your workspace, and make sure you have something between the two layers so the paint won't bleed through.


Step 2: Start applying puffy paint!! I started with little dots all along the neckline,



 Then added some "U" shapes


Some little dots in pink, some big dots in gold,

Expanded at the center,


Let it dry for awhile, and then I had a cute new tank top!! Totally unique too, won't spot anyone else on campus with this shirt!!




It would look better if I was tan. Sigh. Summer needs to come soon so I can get rid of this pasty skin!!!

I'll be linking this project up to all the parties in my header :)

  2. This is cute. It reminds me of a tank top I kept seeing at Old Navy with beads (that of course would come off sooner or later) and this would have more longevity! And I already have a ton of puff paint!

  4. I have like 20 bottles of puffy paint! Seriously- it was on clearance. I am going to give this a try! I'll need a few new tanks for summer and I'm trying to be a bit more g-i-r-l-y... :)

    Thanks for the inspirations!
