How to Make Custom Glow-In-The-Dark Shirts?

July 25, 2022 by Support Leave a Comment

Making your own glow-in-the-dark shirts is a fun and easy project that can be completed in just a few steps. All you need are some basic supplies and a little bit of creativity! In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps involved in creating your own custom glow-in-the-dark shirts.

How to Make Custom Glow-In-The-Dark Shirts

1 step – What you’ll need

The first step is to gather your supplies. You will need a shirt (or shirts), glow-in-the-dark fabric paint, and a paintbrush. Once you have all of your supplies, it’s time to get started!

2 step – The process

Begin by prepping your shirt (or shirts). If you are using new shirts, you will want to wash and dry them before beginning. This will help the paint adhere better to the fabric. If you are using old shirts, simply make sure they are clean and free of any dirt or debris.

3 step

Once your shirt is prepped and ready to go, it’s time to start painting! Begin by sketching out your design on a piece of paper. This will help you plan out your design and ensure that everything is symmetrical. Once you have a plan, start painting your design onto the shirt using the glow-in-the-dark fabric paint. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area, as the fumes from the paint can be strong.

4 step

Once you have finished painting your design, set the shirt aside to dry. The paint will need to cure for 24 hours before it is fully set. Once the paint has cured, your shirt is ready to wear! Be sure to store it in a dark place when you’re not wearing it, as this will help preserve the glow of the fabric paint.

Tips and tricks

Make  Glow-In-The-Dark Shirts

There are a few things to keep in mind when making your own glow-in-the-dark shirts. First, be sure to use a light source that is bright enough to charge the fabric paint. A black light is ideal, but you can also use sunlight or a regular light bulb. Second, be sure to apply several thin coats of paint rather than one thick coat. This will help the paint adhere better to the fabric and produce a more even glow. Finally, be careful not to overcharge the fabric paint. This can cause it to lose its glow over time.

Things to watch out for

There are a few things you’ll want to watch out for when making your own glow-in-the-dark shirts.

First, be sure to work in a well-ventilated area. The fumes from the fabric paint can be strong, so it’s important to make sure you’re not breathing them in too much. Second, be careful not to overcharge the fabric paint. This can cause it to lose its glow over time. Finally, be aware that the paint may rub off on light-colored clothing. If you’re concerned about this, you can always wear a dark shirt underneath your glow-in-the-dark shirt to prevent any color transfer.

How to store your ink

Once you have made your own glow-in-the-dark shirts, you’ll need to store them properly in order to preserve the life of the fabric paint. The best way to do this is to store them in a dark place when you’re not wearing them. This will help prevent the fabric paint from fading or losing its glow. You can also store your shirts in a plastic bag to help protect them from dust and debris.
