| Steps |
 Select
fabric
Select a washable natural-fiber, natural-blend fabric, preferably half
cotton and half polyester.
 Cut
two patterns
Cut two identical tie patterns and sew them together to create the tie.
 Wash
and place on wax paper
Wash the tie once without fabric softener and place it on waxed paper
to dry.
 Draw
pattern
Draw a pattern using a charcoal pencil on the dry tie.
 Paint
pattern
Paint the pattern. Use a shader paintbrush to fill in larger areas and
a liner brush for long, flowing lines.
|
 |
Use a compressed sponge cut to shape. Dip
it in paint and dab it onto the fabric for a sponge-painted effect. |
 Dry
before washing
Allow 24 hours to dry, and 72 hours before washing. Use the gentle cycle,
with mild detergent and fabric softener, and line dry.
