Boot Camp

The theme for our youth conference was B.O.O.T camp..Building Our Own Testimony

I was asked to make the "dog tags". I have never used waterslide decals before so this was a new one for met but I think they turned out pretty good.

I got the tags from Oriental Trading..click HERE
I got the waterslide paper from HERE:

Simply follow the waterslide directions. Waterslide paper is also available in white..but I used the clear because I wanted to be able to see the metal behind.

You could also use the stamp idea HERE but I had to make 45 and that would have been WAY too much stamping!!

Bleached Out T-shirts

Here's what you'll need:
1 t-shirt
2 spray bottles
some bleach
some vinegar
newspaper or cardboard

Pour some bleach into one spray bottle and bleach into the other spray bottle.

I used my Silhouette to cut out the designs but you could also use things laying around the house or purchase the foam shapes with the adhesive back. I cut the out my shapes on cardstock and then used spray adhesive to stick the designs to the shirt. Place newspaper or cardboard in between the 2 layers so the bleach doesn't soak thru to the back.

Once you have placed your designs on shirt, spray the shirt with the bleach and wait until it reaches the desired look. This doesn't take very long - not more than 1 minute.

Spray the shirt with vinegar to stop the bleach's action.

Repeat on the back side if desired. Rinse with cold water and dry.
