Using stencils to re-invent your summer wardrobe is a great way to say goodbye to Father Winter! One of the best things about a Fourth of July Tank is that it’s fun, easy, and everyone can do it. So to celebrate the weather we all have been waiting for, pick up a stencil and give Lady Liberty a treat!
Things you’ll need to make this tank top: 6 x6 in Stencil1 Statue of Liberty, Stencil1 Ice Cream 4-Pack, Aleene’s Tacky Spray, Tulip Soft Fabric Spray, a tank top, cardboard insert, brushes, painter’s tape (optional).
Step 1: Start by placing the tank top on top of a card board insert. Position the Statue of Liberty where you want the design placed on the shirt . Once you have chosen a desired placement, lift the stencil and lightly spray Aleene’s Tack Spray on the back of the stencil. Place the stencil back into the desired location. Place painter’s tape along the edges of the stencil to protect the tank top from paint (optional).
Step 2: Start stenciling by using a dry-brush technique. This means using very little paint to reduce the chance of lumpy paint on the finish product.
Step 3: Once you are done stenciling the Statue of Liberty, remove the stencil off the tank top and place to the side, allow the paint to dry for about five minutes. Take the Ice-Cream 4-Pack, and place it Ice Cream cone in a position that makes it look like Lady Liberty is holding it. Repeat step 2 to position the stencil.
Step 4: Start stenciling using the dry-brush technique. Once finished stenciling, remove Ice-Cream 4-Pack and place to the side.
Step 5: Allow tank-top five minutes to dry. Once dry, remove shirt from card board insert. Once the paint is dry, iron the shirt to heat-seal the paint.
