DIY World Map T-Shirt With Functional Compass
I created this hand-painted T-shirt inspired by travel, exploration, and adventure. The design features a hand-drawn world map combined with a real working compass placed at the center of the artwork.
The goal was to turn a simple white T-shirt into wearable explorer-themed art using only basic materials and hand-painted details.
This project combines fashion, maps, and creativity into one unique DIY design.
Supplies
- White cotton T-shirt
- Black fabric paint
- Small compass
- Pencil or chalk
