In my spare time, I paint designs on T-shirts. I got the idea two years　 1　　　 for my 2　　　 　birthday present. The shop wanted $ 20 for a special design 3　　　 a T-shirt, so I decided to do it 4　　　 . I bought a white cotton T-shirt　 5　　　 　$6 and some paints, and I painted a lion on the front. My brother loved it!

Painting T-shirts is great fun. You 6　　　 　be a great artist, you can just paint shapes and lines. The T-shirts are the 7　　　 　expensive part of my hobby. Also you have to use special fabric paints and you need to buy good quality brushes.

I love my hobby 8　　　 　I can make T-shirts that no-one else has. I give a lot of them away　 9　　　 　presents to my family and friends. Sometimes, I sell them. Since I started, I’ve　 10　　　 　about 60 T-shirts and each one is different.
