Book Club Shirts: Part Two

"What's the point of having a book club if you don't get to eat brownies and drink wine?"       -Jami Attenberg, The Middlesteins

For me what is the point of having a book club if there is not a craft involved?  Sometimes I think book club members specifically pick books to see if I can come up with a project.  I have made stretches, but I have not failed yet.  Another one of the book club members (finally) created her shirt and based it off of The Mortal Instruments series.  Of course I also found a Harry Potter themed shirt with a tutorial over created by the Stay at Home Artist, so that had to be made as well.  Check out her tutorial to create your own Patronus shirt.  


To create the Moral Instruments shirt you will need:
-Black T-Shirt
-White Fabric Paint
-Foam Brush
-Freezer Paper
-Scissors
-Iron
-Cardboard

Directions:
-Find an image of a rune and print it onto computer paper.  The rune shown on the shirt is for angelic power.
-Cut out the rune to create a stencil.  That means cut out the part that is printed and save the rest.  The middle section of this rune was saved for when it was time to iron on the stencil.
-Iron the waxy side of the freezer paper to the shirt.  For this rune we ironed the main stencil part first and then ironed the middle part of second.
-Take white fabric paint right onto the stencil and spread evenly across the design until every open piece of the stencil is covered. Let dry overnight.
-Remove the freezer paper and enjoy your shirt!
