Directions:
Pour the rubbing alcohol into the spray bottle, do not dilute

With any color of sharpie marker you desire begin to make designs
Continue all across the t-shirt in the pattern of your choice.
When you are finished with your masterpiece, spray the ink designs with the rubbing alcohol to make it ‘bleed and run’Continue until you are happy with the resultsALLOW TO DRY FOR at least 1 hour.
When the shirt is COMPLETELY dry, put in the dryer for 15 minutes to set.
We have not had a problem with the ink coming off onto other clothing in the wash, but test for your own results.

Recognize a blessing and be a blessing today.
Definitely looks easy enough for even a craft impaired person such as myself. Will have to try for my girls and totally pinned to do so 🙂
How cute are these? Very creative, and it looks like fun! I love sharpies- is there anything they can’t do?
This is so cute and it looks very simple to make too. I can’t wait to give it a try!
Bet kids would love this! So fun. Happy early 4th. 🙂
