A cheap way to be a superhero
Ever wanted a nerdy T-Shirt, but baulked at the high prices of purchasing and shipping one to your door? Never fear! I have a low-price alternative for you. This can also be used for cosplay, as I did for a Female version of Superman.
Note that this is best for light-coloured fabrics.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Start by printing out your design in the size that you want. Place it on your cutting board and cut out all of the innermost pieces of the design.
-
Step 2Place the design on your T-Shirt (try to be exact). Mark out the corners with your fabric marker. Then, stencil the design on to your T-Shirt with the fabric marker.
-
Step 3Repeat this process as many times as you need.
-
Step 4You will end up with a design like this.
-
Step 5Get a piece of scrap paper and put it inside your T-Shirt, underneath the design. This will stop fabric paint from leaking through to the back. The amount of leakage is dependent on the type of fabric your shirt is made of.
-
Step 6Slowly and carefully, begin painting the design on your shirt. For straight edges I recommend using a flat brush. Take your time, and watch out for any stray bristles on your brush which could ruin your day.
Patience and a steady hand is recommended.
-
Step 7Phew! Finally finished. Let it dry for at least 24 hours before wearing it (I wait 48). To get rid of the fabric marker, simply follow the manufacturer's instructions.
