It was a cheap drawstring backpack in black. At first, I thought it didn't work because I forgot to launder it. The second time didn't work either. I texted my friend and asked her what she thought. She sent me to you. So, avoid "Wear'm" Drawstring Backpacks. 100% cotton. They will not bleach. I swear to it. I have a still black backpack without the design. Rrrr. I'm going to buy paint pens tomorrow. Drat it all.

The lesson here is to always check the tag, no matter what the brand. (Or the sign that a lot of craft stores have over each section of t-shirts, saying what the t-shirt is made of.)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567549830059823566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-75084138607981311962014-06-04T06:50:01.941-06:002014-06-04T06:50:01.941-06:00I free handed everything, but was looking at a bun...I free handed everything, but was looking at a bunch of different pictures for inspiration.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831149581325289134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-49939982994224489372014-06-04T06:47:41.420-06:002014-06-04T06:47:41.420-06:00I ended up going to Walmart and buying a Faded Glo...I ended up going to Walmart and buying a Faded Glory shirt.

If you iron it in place, the plastic melts just enough to stick the the fabric to keep it from sliding around.

You can see what you drew as if you were drawing with a water pen, as you can see the liquid line you draw.
