Guest Post::: Lexy from The Proper Pinwheel


DIY Neon Yellow Striped T-shirt

Hey y’all! I’m Lexy from The Proper Pinwheel and I am super excited to share with you this ridiculously easy DIY. Neon is all the rage right now and what better way to support the trend than by wearing it?! If you have a plain white t-shirt lying around the house, than you can make this:



What you’ll need:::

plain white t-shirt
yellow fluorescent spray paint
blue painter’s tape
cardboard



Take the cardboard and stuff it inside the shirt. This will make sure the paint doesn’t leak through to the back.



Using the tape, divide the bottom ¾ of the shirt into 7 strips. Place the tape about 1 inch apart.



Start spraying the shirt with short bursts of paint. Keep the can 10-12 inches away from the shirt so that the stripes are even.




Wait 30 minutes for the paint to dry and then peel off the tape and enjoy the newest and brightest addition to your closet!






Thanks so much Lexy for sharing this tutorial with us! I can't wait to try it myself on one of my white J.Crew shirts.

  6. once you've made the shirt what kind of wash directions should i follow? never used spray paint on shirts before, should i was it by itself everytime? or just the first time?
    thanks!

    1. I washed and dried it with other colors in cold water. It worked just fine and it's still bright and colorful! If you are a little unsure, wash like normal and hang dry.

      Good luck! :)
