BEYONCE - DRUNK IN LOVE

Beyonce' kilt it at the Grammy's last night, didn't she? In honor of Queen Bey, I decided to make a shirt with her catchy phrase "Surfboard".  Now, I know they are available on her website, but why not DIY!

I had an size 2XL boys Hanes sweatshirt, that I cut off the collar, my trusty stencils and white fabric paint.

I used a ruler to find the center and put on the shirt to line up where the letter should be.

I used the cut out letters to get a visual and to chalk the spacing.

One letter at a time, I began stenciling. I took my time as to not let excess paint bleed through.

Here's me finishing up the last letter while Yonce' plays in the background.

Voila!

Surfboard, Surfboard, Surfboard

Graining on the wood, graining, graining on that wood

I'm swerving on that, swerving, swerving on that big body

Been serving all this, swerve, surfing all in this good good

Me rockin' my creation!

DIY YSL

To-MAY-toe or To-MAH-toe! Yves Saint Laurent or Saint Laurent! Why did they drop the "Yves"? The reason, they say, was to make it more streamline.  I prefer Yves Saint Laurent and I want to be a part of the iconic brand. I present to you, the infamous YSL logo t-shirt.

Bow-wizzle

Turn up, Bron Bron!

In honor of YSL and DIY, I thought I would combine my two loves. I went online, printed the logo, cut it out and glued it to a cardboard box top. I used a straight edge and made my own stencil.

I went to A.C. Moore again and purchased plain t-shirts, 3 for $10.00. I already had fabric paint from a previous DIY project.

I used the ruler to mark the center, put cardboard inside the shirt to prevent the paint soaking through and used a styrofoam plate for the paint.

I used thumb tacks to secure the stencil and the cut-out cardboard pieces that define the lines in the "Y" and the "S".

Voila!

Let the shirt dry for 24 hours and wash before wearing.
