1. Saffron, White, and Green T-Shirts
T-shirts can be worn to many different Independence Day events. Making your own T-shirts lets you show your pride while staying comfortable.
For Men:
Materials Needed: You’ll need a plain white T-shirt, saffron, white, and green fabric paint, paintbrushes, masking tape, and a template if you want to use one.
Instructions: The first thing you should do is get a regular white T-shirt. Masking tape can be used to make lines across the shirt that are either horizontal or diagonal. On the top, paint with yellow, on the bottom, with green, and leave the middle white. If you want to add patterns or symbols like the Ashoka Chakra to the white part, you can also use a stencil. After letting the paint dry completely, take off the tape to show a patriotic T-shirt that stands out.
For women:
Materials Needed: You’ll need a plain white or green T-shirt, saffron, white, and green fabric paint, a sponge, fabric glue, and (optional) decorations.
Instructions: To make a gradient effect, start at the top with saffron paint, mix it into white, and then end with green paint. To make the change between colours smooth, use a brush. You can make the shirt look even better by adding gold or silver accents, like stars or shapes, with fabric glue. This makes a stylish and one-of-a-kind T-shirt for Independence Day.

For women:
