Paint
2. Masking
tape
3. Pencil
4. Eraser
5. Sponge
6. Paint
7. Stanley
knife
8. Paper
9. Acetate
10. Shirt
11. Permanent

Step
1:
Take the picture that you have drawn or taken from the
internet and place the acetate over the page. Make sure it is placed directly
over the page and stick them together using the masking tape.
Step
2:
Go over the design on the acetate permanent marker then
cut the pieces where the permanent marker is (Make sure not cut the whole line
or the object will fall out). Cut out the objects on the paper that you want to
be a different colour.
Step
3:
Do a test to see if the picture is cut out properly. Test
of a piece of paper or cloth.
Step
4:
If the practice run
is looking good and you are ready to print on shirts then get your shirt ready
to be printed on. Make sure your shirt is ironed and there are no creases on
the space that you are going to be working on. Place an A3 book and board inside
the shirt and wrap the shirt so that the place you will be working on has no
wrinkles.
Step
5:
Place the stencil on the shirt where you want the
template to be designed on. Clip in onto the shirt making sure there are no
creases. Take the pain that you and sponge and dab the paint onto the t shirt
making sure you stick to the lines you have made.
Step
6: Final step
Last but not least remove the template and paper clips
and see the magnificent masterpiece you have created and enjoy.
