DIY Neon Striped Tee

shirt: DIY  jeans: kohls  sandals: target  tree necklace: K.Jane

I was inspired by Sarah's post from the winthrop chronicles and made this shirt last week.  
(She has lots of sweet tutorials that I plan on trying this summer!) 

I've been wanting something neon and am so excited this shirt turned out.  
Since I already had the white tee at home, I only spent $3 on the spray paint.

All you need is a white t-shirt, painter's tape and spray paint. 
The spray paint I used said good for indoor or outdoor use, and was florescent yellow.


Use the painter's tape to mark off your stripes.  
I kind of wish I would have used smaller tape so my stripes were thicker, but this is what I had at home. 


I made my stripes smaller on top and bigger as they went down. 


Use some paper to block the top and bottom of the shirt.


Do a few coats of paint and let dry.
This was one of the faster projects I've done and I love how it turned out!


I've washed my shirt once and the color was still just as bright.   


I'm thinking I now need to make some onsies or kids' shirts using spray paint.
So many possibilities!

Hope you've had a great weekend!
