I love a plain orange tee I got several years ago. Of course, since I love it, I blopped SOMETHING on it that wouldn’t come out. (Actually, there were THREE somethings on it that stayed no matter what I tried…
Yesterday I decided to see what I could do to refurbish it.
I got out my stash of buttons. Full of enthusiasm, I started figuring out what I wanted to do and started sewing buttons on the shirt. I discovered that this kind of art is MUCH more difficult than I had hoped. I kept having to stop and get another band-aid each time I stuck myself with the needle, not wanting to bleed on the shirt.
I ended up with a combination of buttons and paint.
I can tell it’s going to take a LOT more practice before I am able to do more than baby designs with the buttons, but I had a LOT of fun and am looking forward to trying again soon!
