America!

Since the 4^th of July is tomorrow it only seemed right to make a project that was flagged themed. So, of course I went for a tank because I need something to wear.

I have to say this was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I bought a tank top from the boy's section at Wal-Mart for $3.00. I already had red and blue paint.

I started by taping off the t-shirt for the stripes and stars.

I printed off some stars just on a word document and then cut them out and taped them down to the t-shirt.

Next I just started painting. This took a lot more paint than I thought it would. I put on quite a few layers.

Then I painted the stars section. Then I let it dry and pulled off the tape.

I have to say I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. I kind of like that the stripes and stars aren't perfect. Of course I will be wearing it tomorrow!
