You Will Need
-
Step 1Go to goodwill & find a plain $3 gray sweatshirt (or sweater) u like.
.
(Every1 throws away perfectly good shirts u can stencil. ...u could always resize it to fit you also.) -
Step 2Go online & find a skull stencil u like.
...i was planning to make a realistic one ,like the original shirt (pic). But i found this cool sugar skull stencil instead!! -
Step 3You have to make a HUGE skull stencil for the front (too big to print), Heres what i did ...
.
Resize the image/stencil in microsoft word, to make it the size of printer paper. Print.
<-- See its too small. :( -
Step 4+ Fold the image in half twice (to make 4 sections), & cut apart.
-
Step 5+ Set ur copier on ur printer to magnify/blow up image by 30%.
+ Then copy each section.
+ Tape 4 sections back together
<-- See Now its big enough!!
.
***Results May Vary- depending on printer & size preferance*** -
Step 6+ Tape new image to thin cardboard ...like a cereal box (or flattened gift box like mine).
+ Using an exacto knife, cut out stencil through cardboard.
.
...i gotta hand cramp a few times. :( -
Step 7+ Center Stencil on shirt & tape down.
+ Use brush to dab black fabric paint over stencil. You could also try acrylic paint or Spraypaint. -
Step 8Remove stencil, & let dry completely.
.
I also added Roses to the shoulders & on the back. :) -
Step 9*Optional*
Use scissors to make tiny holes in sleeves of shirt (like the original). Kinda hard to tell in pics. -
Step 10Enjoy ur hot new sweatshirt!
Im wearin this on christmas! :P
