DIY: Rad Muscle Shirt

Hey guys! So today I am going to show you how to turn an old t-shirt into a muscle shirt with a beanie that says 'Rad' on it! Let's get started :-)

Materials

• Old Shirt
• Fabric Scissors
• Cardboard
• Fabric Paint (black and white)
• Paint Brushes
• Paper Clips
• Permanent Marker

Step 1:
Begin by cutting the collar off of your shirt by following the seam. Be careful because the seam is usually lower in the front than the back and you want that to stay the same. You will have to cut the front and the back seam of separately; like so.

Step 2:

The next thing that you will do is cut the sleeves off of your shirt. Cut it roughly 1-2 inches from the seam and then 1-2 inches below the seam. After you have the first sleeve cut off; fold the shirt over and use the first cut sleeve as a guide for the second so that they are the same size. 

Step 3:

In this step you will be creating the outline of your beanie. I did this by drawing it on paper, cutting it out and then tracing it onto the shirt with a permanent marker. Then I began to draw the words 'Rad' in a way that looks like the words are melting. I did this by starting the letters normal and then shaking the marker to create the melting effect.

Step 4:

The next step is to paint the shirt. Begin by filling the shirt in with black fabric paint; leaving the inside of 'Rad' without any paint. Once the black paint has dried you can fill that in using a fine paint brush with white. After you have finished painting you're done! :-)

I hope you guys liked this post!! It would be awesome if you could share it on any social media that you use :-) And leave comments giving me suggestions for future posts or anything really!
