In my spare time, I paint designs on T-shirts. I got this idea two years ago for my brother’s birthday present. The shop wanted $20 for a special design on a T-shirt, so I decided to do it by myself. I bought a white cotton T- shirt and some paints, and I painted a lion on the front. It only cost $6. My brother loved it very much! Painting T-shirts is great fun. You needn’t be a great artist, and you can just paint shapes and lines. The T-shirts are the most expensive part of my hobby. You have to use special paints because they can keep a long time. Brushes are not really expensive but you need to buy ones of good quality.
I love my hobby because I can make T-shirts that no one else has got. I give away a lot of them to my family and friends. Sometimes, I sell them. Since I started, I’ve made about 60 T-shirts and every one is different.
