Tank Top DIY & How to Create a Snakeskin Print with Sharpie Stained Markers
The people from Sharpie so kindly sent me their newest invention, the Sharpie Stained Fabric Marker and asked that I create something with it. I thought instead of drawing a picture of something specific, I would try to create a print using a stencil. Lace came to mind and when I did a test run with some leftover vintage lace from my ballet skirt DIY, I got a bit of a snakeskin print from it and was thrilled. I used the lace to create a repeating snakeskin grid across the entire tank. Here's how...

Step 1Slide a paper bag or large piece of cardboard in between your shirt {so your markings stay on one side only}.
-
Step 2Lay your tank on top of your t-shirt and carefully draw around it.
-
Step 3Flip it over and do the same on the back.
-
Step 4Carefully follow your pattern on each side and cut out your tank top. Slide your cardboard back through your new tank.
-
Step 5Lay your lace on top of your tank and hold it taught. Using the SIDE of your Sharpie Stained Fabric Marker with a light hand {unless you want your print dark} gently draw/paint/mark your print through the lace.
-
Step 6It should look something like this. *Your print will depend on the shape of your lace.
-
Step 7Move your lace pattern around your shirt, carefully lining it up with your last print to repeat the design. Some areas I made darker than others for a gradient effect.
-
Step 8For a pop of color over the gray/black print I created, I used the yellow Stained Sharpie {which is neon in reality} free-hand dotting over and throughout my new snakeskin print.
