So it’s November!
Before I start with all my Christmas craft projects I had to find time to fit in my movember inspired scarf!
<;;;/a
I’ve searched high and low for a moustache scarf with no joy. So I decided to make my own.
Here is how I did it…
What I used:
Black acrylic paint
Kitchen sponge
1 metre of sheer fabric
Thin paintbrush
-Cover the surface were you will be painting with newspaper, then place the fabric on top of it folded in half.
-cut a sponge into your desired shape. In this case a moustache.
-Fill a bowl with paint and dip the sponge in it. Allow it to soak enough paint to stamp the fabric properly.
-Dab the sponge a little on the side of the bowl to remove excess paint then stamp the fabric carefully but firmly to make sure the paint sinks through the folded side.
-Stamp as many or as little designs as you wish. Don’t worry if if some gets smudged or it doesn’t come up perfect. It all adds to the look. And you can also go over some of them with a paintbrush if you aren’t entirely happy.
-When it is dry ( mine was dry within a couple of hours, but you can leave it longer just to be sure) fold the sides twice and iron.
-Saw the edges to finish off and wear your scarf!!!
That’s it!!!
How easy was that?
Hope you like it and if you decide to make one your self I would love to see it so post a msg with a link to the photo.
Thanks
