I saw this DIY shirt on the internet one day and I decided to make my son and my nephew one. Although I haven’t seen any instructions for this but then I thought it is easy to make. And so, I thought I’d share this simple instruction for the Monster Eyes DIY Shirt. If you are familiar with silk screen print shirt, then this would be very easy for you.
Monster Eyes DIY Shirt
Materials you will need for the Monster Eyes DIY Shirt:
Plain Colored Shirt (a color of your choice)
Different sizes of Wiggling eyes (depends as to how many eyes you’d like to place on shirt)
Silk screen fabric ink
Silk screen frame
Image print in a transparencypaper (this is for the mouth of the monster – as seen on the photo)
Squeegee
Small cardboard that can fit inside the shirt
Adhesive Bonds
Procedure:
Step 1 : You need to draw or better yet make a layout using your computer of a monsters mouth by using Image print in a transparency paper. Just like the one shown in the pictures. Once you already have the monsters mouth, you then have your silk screen ready and tape the image print. That way you can print on it.
Step 2 : Lay the plain shirt (a color of your choice) flat on a table. But I would suggest that you make use of bright colors, so that when you paint the mouth of the monster, you’ll be using black. This will make the mouth more emphasize. (See the yellow shirt). Make sure that you put something inside the shirt like the small cardboard so that the paint won’t go through the back portion of the shirt.
Step 3 : Prepare to silk screen paint the shirt and once you already have painted the shirt, let it dry for about an hour or two. Just to make sure that the paint is properly absorb and is already dried before placing in the wiggling eyes.
Step 4 : Using adhesive bonds, stick one eye at a time. It doesn’t really matter how you place them. There really is no particular order on how to do it. It is all up to you, how wide your imagination would be.
Step 5 : Let it dry and you are already set.
Tip: Wash on reverse side, this will avoid the eyes to wear off easily. Or better yet, hand wash them.
See how easy it is to make your own monster eyes DIY shirt. I’ve been making them for quite some time now. Some of them are orders to make them as a birthday giveaway or Halloween gift. Cool huh? I also made some for my friend’s sons and daughters.
You too can make this shirt in less than 5 steps. I hope you like this version of DIY Shirt.
