[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 605694, member: 6705"] [SIZE=2][FONT=verdana]MWM, low-cost gifts are something I love... Plus I am really "artsy-fartsy". Sweatshirts in a myriad of colors are cheap at Wal-Mart, and then you buy fabric paint - I think the two big brand names are Tulip and Scribbles - and you can either use a paint brush or the tip of the bottle. It doesn't have to be fancy - an upside-down "J" is a candy cane... an oval turns into a penguin really easily. (And if you are weird like me, you put antlers on the penguins and you have reindeer.) You don't have to sew anything on if you don't want to. Or you can use an iron-on applique, and embellish with the fabric paint. Or rhinestones. Or whatever tickles your fancy. They even have iron-on rhinestones now! Now... The fabric paint... Comes in puffy, or shiny... Iridescent, glitter, gel/transparent... Even matte. It runs from 79¢ to $1.50 a tube/bottle, but it will last you. For the penguin/deer a couple years ago, I used black, red, yellow and brown. More black than anything. 8 tiny reindeer (1 1/2") and one huge one (7") only took about 1/4 the bottle of black and that included outlines, filling in the wings, etc. (I made Big Sister and Big Brother shirts for Belle and Pat when Rose was born, too.) FWIW, I can't draw a straight line with a ruler and a CAD program. I find pictures online, reduce them to black-and-white outlines, reverse them and print them - then I can iron them on, because the printer toner melts like a transfer![/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
