I'm looking for ways/tools for painting small letters onto fabric with paint.

Hello everyone, I'm new here but the name of the sub made me hopeful that this is the right place to ask. So basically, the title already says it all. I have a very specific project in mind for my bf's birthday and it includes lots of small letters (5-10 mm in height) in fabric paint on a cotton shirt. My initial idea was to "print" them using foam rubber letters, but the ones I found on amazon were too big. I then tried to use the soup noodle letters, but as their surface is not plane, it doesn't work as intended. I then actually proceeded to draw the letters by hand using a toothpick/a rounded metal tip, but this is very laborious, as I have to dip them into the paint every millimeter... I also tried using a paintbrush, but the lines don't become as clear as I'd wish them to be. So if you have some ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful! (I'll also answer more detailed questions on the project if need be) Than you in advance!

What can I make with the top half (above arm pit) of 100+ t-shirts in various sizes/colors.

For VBS this year, the kids are making dog pull toys using t-shirt rope. I saved the top half of the shirts that I used for the t shirt yarn. They’re all cut off just below the arm pit and are a variety of colors/sizes/styles, etc. I don’t want to just toss them, what can I make with them?

I have a gajillion yards of tulle. What now?

I got a whole crapton of tulle for a past event, in purple and blue with glitter and stars. I am now saddled with this stuff. It served its purpose excellently, but I want to recoup my cost on this thing somehow. What can I make and sell out of tulle that people will actually like?
