DIY tshirt printing

So my sister just came back from the Philipphines and she bought this really cool thing. =p. Its Pentel fabric fun,pastel dye sticks.It looks like regular crayon,but it has dyeing properties.So basically,you can draw any designs on any fabric (plain tshirts for me!) and if you don't like the design you had made on the fabric,you can just wash it away with water & and soap,but if you LIKE the design you had made on the fabric,you can iron it and alakazam!,its permanent and washable.



I have been looking for fabric dye for quite some time (though i actually didnt really search high and low for it ) and am kinda glad when I found out that my sister bought this for me.I never thought it can exist in sticks form though.I always thought it would be,you know, in liquid form.


Since i found a plain white tshirt,i decided to give the dye sticks a try.As I said,they are in stick form and they have that crayon-feel to it,which means the colour is so easy to rub to your fingers (sigh..).The result was expected,i mean i didnt expect any better for this kiddy looking thing but i was kinda hoping when it is ironed,the design would look more um..or should i say LESS homemade-looking,but hey,you get what you get.=]

I am still looking for a fabric dye,(the liquid kind) so if anyone know where to buy one.TELL ME.
