I have a great t-shirt making kit with ways of how to marble, tie dye, etc, and I also have lots of ideas of my own. But all those kits come with one size fits all adult xxl shirts and I want shirts that are more normal and formfitting. is there any way to make the shirts fit or is it easier just to go to a thrift store and buy some cheap tees that aren't completely crapped up.

Also, are there any fabric paints with those easy squeeze kind of tops that don't come out so puffy? Or have these assets just not been invented yet? Thanks.

a) you can resize tshirts by taking them apart, cutting them down, and resewing, but if the shirts you need are just plain white it'd probably be a lot more sensible to jsut go out and buy some white hanes tees from your nearest bi-mart.
b)you can use puffy paints and just brush them down with a paintbrush to take away the "puff," however, the paints will still dry semi-hard. there are other things you can use, just check your craft store.

thanks for your help.

do you know how to make back slashes? Here's how- Cut Slashes in the back of the shirt. The closer together they are, the less flesh you'll show. Cut straight up the middle of the back layer, through all the slashes.tie all the ends together. You're done! This makes shirts smaller.

I have directions for making shirts smaller. It works really well, but it's a bit time consuming if you're not doing it because there's a cool design on the shirt. If they're plain, I'd say it's better to just buy some smaller plain ones at the store. If you'd like the directions for making your shirt smaller, you can email me, and I'll glady type them out for you.
