In my spare time,I paint designs on T-shirts. I got this idea two years ago for my brother^ birthday present. The shop wanted $ 20 for a special design on a T-shirt,so I decided to do it 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 a lot of them away as presents to my family and friends. Sometimes I sell them. Since I started,iVe made about 60 T-shirts and each one is different.
