Hurts Like Heaven

Isn't Chris Martin just beautiful? ❤

ohmyGawwwwwwwwwwrdddddddddd! I can not express how much more I appreciate Coldplay now that I've seen them live! So anyway Coldplay came to Melbourne for their Mylo Zyloto tour on Tuesday night and they played in the biggest stadium Melbourne has to offer, Etihad (well. besides MGC). The night was MAGICAL! I won't spoil it too much for you incase you're planning to see them soon, but a tip would be don't look up for too long.... LOL. Pretty much when we bought tickets to the Coldplay concert in May I was set on making DIY shirts for it. So here's my galaxy print Coldplay shirt! :)

  Materials:

Plain Black singlets (Kmart, $4)

White acrylic paint

Galaxy coloured acrylic paint (I bought Teal, Purple and Blue)

Sponges

Peel and Stick sheets

Marker Pen

Stanley Knife

Scissors

Here's my COLDPLAY design I cut out of the Peel and Stick sheets, before putting it in place on the shirt. TIP: make sure the shirt is on a flat surface with no creases before you peel and stick!!

Using the white acrylic paint I went over the design with a sponge. This is really important if you want your colours to been seen. TIP: put a sheet of paper or plastic in between the shirt so the paint doesn't seep through to the back.

Using different sponges, alternate between the colours to achieve a well-blended galaxy design. TIP: Start with darker colours first, lighter colours are much easier to blend into darker ones.

After finishing my print, I completely improvised and put some white flecks on the shirts. I've seen some blogs do this with toothbrushes ahah

Then I let it dry in the sun and peel! Voila!

I made these in an hour before I was suppose to leave for the concert....but I think they turned out pretty good :D now I shall leave you with this picture of fireworks that may or may not have been from the concert ;P
