Laundry Tricks : Write on Your Clothes Without Smudging

You've bought a plain shirt so you have have some fun marking it up with permanent marker, but every time you try and write it smudges and crinkles making your art look more like chicken scratch.

Take some hairspray and soak the surface of the shirt you want to write on. You'll be able to write as easily as you would on a piece of paper.

Hairspray contains copolymer, an oil blocker that will prevent the marker from spreading between the fibers. Once dried the spray also keeps the shirt rigid, so it won't crinkle.
