Supplies Needed:
White, 100% cotton kids' T-Shirt
Paintbrush
Paint palette
White rhinestones
Wax pen or tweezers
Plastic or cardboard
Ruler
Step 1: Prepare the materials
Before you start on this custom 4th of July outfit, prewash and dry the kids’ T-shirt. Place a layer of plastic or cardboard between the layers of the shirt to prevent the paint from seeping through, then place a ruler on top to guide your painting. You will need red and blue Puff Paint for the American flag-inspired 4th of July outfit! Optionally, you can use white Puff Paint for the white stripes, or just leave unpainted white space between the red stripes. Squeeze a small amount of each Puff Paint color onto a palette.
Step 2: Paint the flag canton
Use a paintbrush to apply blue Puff Paint to the T-shirt in a small rectangle This will be the canton of the American flag on your 4th of July outfit!
Step 3: Apply Rhinestone Adhesive
Once the paint has dried to the touch, use Aleene's Rhinestone Adhesive to dot the canton with glue for the gems.
Step 4: Place rhinestones onto the canton
Use a wax pen or tweezers to place gems onto the glued areas, then press into place to secure. This 4th of July outfit features 50 sparkling rhinestones to symbolize the stars on the flag!
Step 5: Paint the stripes
Use a paintbrush to apply red (and optionally, white) Puff Paint in stripes for the 4th of July outfit. The American flag features 13 stripes, alternating in red and white, to symbolize the original colonies!
Step 6: Let dry and enjoy!
Once the paint and adhesive have dried completely, this 4th of July outfit is ready to wear! Enjoy this playful patriotic look as is or keep the creativity coming with more 4th of July crafts!
