DIY Friday & The Hunger Games

Three weeks until The Hunger Games premier.  Who is excited?! Well I sure am.
Look what I got!
 I have only been to a midnight showing once!
So here is my DIY project from today.  In the spirit of the 3 week countdown until the premier, I made a shirt for that night.  I have had this shirt since tenth grade and figured it could use an upgrade.  And, I definitely hummed Safe and Sound while doing this.
At first, I put the tape directly on my shirt, but drawing it out
worked so much nicer. I used the sketch as a template then taped over it and transferred.
The black tape (I can’t remember the actually name) worked much better than duct tape.
I cut the black tape in half and used that size consistently which made it so much easier.
I used a paper template for the “S”s which made me nervous because of bleeding,
I put some tape on them to make them stick
I was still really nervous about the “S”s. Oh well.
I put some cardboard in between.
I used black spray paint, I like how it looks rustic.  I definitely almost went outside without getting my keys.  Good thing I remembered I would have been locked out.
And here is how it turned out.  Like I said, the “S” worried me, and I should have gone with my gut.  Still, I think it looks awesome.  I might put something on the back like “Peeta is mine” or “May the odds be ever in your favor.”  I’m not sure yet though.  It is definitely going to need to air outside for awhile.  If only this rain would let up!

I hope you like it!! 🙂 Happy Reaping.
