Learning how to make gemstone T-shirts can give you a trendy new look without having to pay high designer prices. Anything you decide to create will reflect your own individual style. It may be a good start for your own business.
Makings preparation
Gemstones you would like to use for your T-shirt design. You can choose any color, any size, any shape and any types because it will be your design. Some gemstones have a flat metal backing and some have prongs that are pressed down into the fabric to secure the gem. And another must is a T-shirt, new or old is OK.
Making process
Use sewing pins to mark the area where you would like the gemstone to go. Use fabric chalk to outline the design on T-shirt. You can do this freehand if it is a simple design. If you have difficulty to draw, you can use a stencil. Now start to make. Put a small piece of cardboard inside the T-shirt, underneath the design area. Place the gemstones on the pattern for a preview. If you have bought the gemstones with a flat metal back, you have to put a small amount of fabric glue on the metal back and press firmly into place. If the gemstones have prongs, arrange the gemstone in the pattern and turn the shirt inside out. The prongs should be sticking through the other side of the shirt. Take a spoon or small knife and force the prongs down until all the prongs are secured into the fabric. The last procedure is keeping the shirt on a flat surface for 24 hours at least.
Now you have finished a gemstone T-shirt, you can give it to your friend as jewelry gifts and design some special ones for any occasion. It is also a hobby the whole family can enjoy.
