Pantyhose Painting

Black pantyhose, white hose, fishnet stockings - there are many different types of leg coverings that you might choose to wear with a particular outfit. And, even though you have many color choices, and several styles from which you can select, theres just nothing like the eye-popping look youll create when you do pantyhose painting. If you want your legs to get noticed, they certainly will when you paint a scene on one or both legs of the pantyhose. People will definitely stop to stare! Whether youre going club-hopping, or just trying to get your guy to look at you - and not the television - youll get attention when you wear painted pantyhose. Although its possible to paint on fishnet stockings, youll achieve the best results if you paint on ordinary pantyhose - not tights. You can paint on tights but theres something more intriguing about the painting being done on natural, beige, taupe, tan, or brown shades of regular pantyhose.

It can be helpful to put the pantyhose on, and then draw a chalk perimeter for where you want the actual pantyhose artwork to go. Remove the pantyhose and slide a piece of cardboard into the area where you will be drawing.

Use a paint pen - or more than one - to create the scene you want. Your local craft store likely sells a huge variety of the paint markers. When you use stencils along with the paint pens, you can create your choice of thousands of designs on one or both legs of the pantyhose. The pen contains real paint, which is permanent, and can help you draw a colorful or demure art piece on the pantyhose. Another option for painting the pantyhose is to slide a picture in the pantyhose, and position it on top of the cardboard. If you use hosiery that you can see through, you can easily trace the scene. A good source for pantyhose pictures is a coloring book but you could also use a picture ripped from a catalog, a calendar picture, or an image printed from the internet. Youre only limited by your imagination when it comes to the designs you can draw onto the pantyhose. Draw a gun in a garter holster, a person climbing a rope, a spider crawling up the leg, a hand, bees, butterflies, palm trees, nature scenes, vines and flowers, or other images. Both legs can be made to match or they can each have a different scene. Or, just one leg can be decorated. Put the finished pantyhose on, go out the door, and get ready for people to stop and glare!
