This weekend I have an event where I need to create my own replica umpire uniform. Last week I went and got a cheap polo t-shirt, and yesterday evening I went to go get some fabric paint.
After I got out of work, I went over to Michael's. Because I'm a man, I like to keep my time spent in Michael's to a bare minimum. I walked in, quickly went straight back to the fabric paints, and glanced at the colors.
I needed red and white paint, saw them, grabbed them, and headed over to the registers. After dinner, I began to paint the shirt. As I started using the white paint, I noticed there was glitter in it. "Oh well," I thought to myself, "It could be worse. The paint is white, so the glitter shouldn't show up too much."
This morning I woke up and went out to see how the paint did overnight. "It" certainly is worse!

The paint didn't dry white- it's a clearish/blue hue! And the glitter is very visible! Next time I'm reading the labels before I buy the paint...
