Here's a fun project I got up to recently...
I bought this fabric painting set from Tchibo. For those of you who don't know Tchibo, it is a German franchise that sells all kinds of cool things from clothing to cooking utensils to fun project kits like the one I got below, and best of all it only cost me AED 35!
The kit comes with 4 pots of fabric paint, a paint brush, a sponge brush, and a set of stencils (alpha-numerics and generic icons like hearts, stars, smileys, and even shoes and cocktail glasses).
I was really attracted to the lovely mettalic lilac paint, and put it to use.
I chose the star motif, maybe because I have 'twinkle, twinkle little star' in my mind so constantly thanks to my little tot! She had a fun time with this project too as I made her feel very important and let her hold the stencil in place!
I got these dusky pink jeans from Vero Moda about a year ago. I've worn it heaps, even though I've had comments it looks naked (thanks to its close proximity to my skin colour!).
I think the metallic stars really gave my jeans a face-lift!
Here's a pic of my jeans up-close. The trick is to keep the distance between each motif constant so it looks neat. And doesn't the metallic paint have a lovely subtle shine?
You don't have to go buy a Tchibo kit. Create your kit at home!
Cut out a motif of your choice on stiff cardboard. Use an old paint brush and the sponge of an old makeup compact. Get creative with colour schemes and motifs. Have fun!
