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