Now let’s be honest, I love the idea of crafts. But crafts with kids? Hmmm…. But when I was asked to be involved with River Island’s design a t-shirt competition I thought I would embrace the chaos and glitter!!
On a lazy Sunday afternoon Little Miss and I took over the front room and laid out our white t-shirts from the River Island girls section and discussed what we were going to do.
We browsed through the crafts stuff we had on offer – pva glue, pipe cleaners, Pom poms and of course GLITTER! What do you think Little Miss was most excited to use? Yes the GLITTER!
First of all I gave her the pva glue pot to splatter all over the white t-shirt. She loved making all the splats and went – in her words – crazy! (She’s been watching too many YouTube videos).
After she’s finished with the glue she took hold of the glitter and proceeded to dribble it over the glue. To be fair she was very tidy with it.
Whilst she did that I took some of sequins and made my own little mini design…. can you guess who it is? Ok it’s meant to be Dizzy the egg from the gaming series.
I then made their initials out of pipe cleaners to decorate the shirts. Then Little Miss proceeded to use the animal stickers all over the shirts.
So here’s the end results. It’s safe to say we won’t win the competition but we had great fun designing them. Our style is chaotic glitter!
What do you think to our designs? Have we got a future in design?
