Lily loves to play Poptropica. Do your kids? But there isn't a lot of related merchandise out there. Well, relative to other popular kids merchandise. So Lily and I decided to make a cami with her personal avatar on the front. Can't get more unique than that?! But what would be even better would be that Lily could make it herself....with a little help from me;)
See the image tutorial below for the how-to process of using the Ink Effects ink.
Tips!
1. If you are using fabric that has more than 30% cotton you must use the Ink Effects base coat spray. It really helps. And don't spray it over the entire garment, just the place where you plan on putting the design. The substance is sticky and will stay that way even after it dries.
2. Don't leave the iron on the fabric too long or the base coat spray will turn yellow.
3. Absolutely put three coats of ink on your design. It will look all washed out if you only use one.

This looks amazing!! What happens when you don't use the spray? I want to use a cotton fabric, but I'm not sure about using the spray.
@Bargain HootIt soaks up the ink more. The look is supposed to be more washed out if you don't use it. I haven't tried without the spray so I can't tell you from experience. But if you do decide to try it without the spray let me know how it worked for you.
