Sometimes T-shirts need a little bit of touch up to make the colours or the design stand out and look more striking so the last demonstration was on touching up some T-shirts that needed a bit of pop. That's when contour fabric paste is most useful. You can get them in many colours, including both metallic as well as glitter combinations.
The grey T-shirt on the right presented an interesting challenge as the lady who ordered it was quite specific about not wanting colours that were too strong. The problem was that delicate pastels look very faded against a dove grey background. So the solution was to use black contour paste to outline everything and make the colours stand out against it.
The T-shirt on the left had a strong red and green design but it needed a bit of glamour to make it more versatile for both casual as well as party wear, so it was slashed with silver glitter contour paste to look like falling rain. The silver contour paste was slightly smeared in long streaks to give softer contours to the glittery paste.
