Remove Permanent Marker from Clothes

Here are several ideas to remove a permanent marker spot from your favorite t-shirt

  • Apply nail polish remover to the stain and blot with a clean paper towel until the stain goes away.
  • Wash the garment in the washing machine with a cup of salt using cold water and no detergent.
  • Place a paper towel under the garment. Spray the stain with hairspray and rub with a cotton swab. The paper towel will help to absorb the stain and prevent it from staining the other side.
  • Apply WD-40 to the stain and blot with a clean paper towel until the stain goes away.
  • Soak the stained area in vinegar for at least an hour and run it through the washing machine.
  • Mix cream of tartar and lemon juice into a paste and apply it to the stain. Allow this to sit for about an hour before running the garment through the washing machine.
  • Scrub the stain with toothpaste and a paper towel. Make sure it is the paste kind; gel will not work.

Gold Painted Jeans

You’ll need doilies of different sizes and patterns, a paint sponge or paintbrush, Krylon Easy Tack Spray Adhesive, Lumiere Fabric Paint in Bright Gold, and a pair of jeans.

Lightly spray the doilies with the adhesive and press down firmly on the jeans. We overlapped the doilies and stopped at three but there really isn’t a right or wrong way to creating your own pattern. Gently dab paint into the negative spaces of the doily, making sure not to overload the paintbrush.

Apply at least another coat of paint, let dry and peel back the doilies to reveal the pattern.
