Use the glitter puff paint to draw a design on the shirt. Shake the paint bottle and begin and practice on a scrap sheet of paper before applying directly to the shirt. Begin with simple shapes, such as circles or swirls.

Let the shirt dry for two hours. Add beaded necklaces, or strap bracelets to the final look. Give your rave outfit originality with a faux-fur vest or a bright-colored scarf.
