ID: 178337
Description: There's nothing quite like a favorite T-shirt....
Steps:
- Lay your shirt on a flat surface.
- Use scissors to cut a piece of parchment paper the same size as the design on your shirt.
- Insert the piece of parchment paper inside of the shirt and under the design.
- This is to prevent the acetone from staining.
- Dampen a cotton ball with the acetone.
- Gently dab the cotton ball onto the cracked area of the shirt and hold it in place for 1 minute.
- Remember to always dab, do not rub.
- Repeat this over the whole area that you wish to restore.
- Let your shirt set for 3-5 minutes
- If you're doing a small area, let it set for 2-3 minutes. If it is any bigger, set it for 5 minutes.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper to match the size of the shirt's design, then place it over the design.
- Turn on a clothes iron to the highest heat setting with NO steam.
- Be careful when handling the iron, it gets burning hot!
- When your iron is ready, place it over the parchment paper and go over the whole design once.
- Go over the areas that had the cracks for at least 10-15 seconds.
- Now your shirt design should no longer have cracks.
