Step 1
Wash your shirt! This is an important step, to allow the shirt to shrink before you apply shirt. If it's an old shirt you can skip this step.
-
Step 2Find a stencil online, or create one yourself. If you'd like to turn a regular picture in photoshop, you can do this by going to: Image > Adjustments > Treshold, and play around with the levels a bit until you got it right.
-
Step 3
Print the stencil on adhesive paper
-
Step 4Carefully cut out your stencil with an x-acto knife.
-
Step 5Get out your shirt, peel off the backing of the adhesive tape, and stick it to your shirt.
-
Step 6If your stencil has any "islands", bits in the middle of the stencil that don't need to get painted, stick those to the shirt too.
-
Step 7Stick some old papers around the shirt, overlapping the edges of the stencil, so you can't get paint anywhere on the shirt where you don't want it. Put some paper in between your shirt too, so you won't get paint on the back if it leaks through.
-
Step 8Apply paint to your roller, and carefully apply it to your shirt. Don't press too hard, if you do, the paint will leak under the edges. Make sure the paint is spreaded out evenly. When you finished, let the paint dry.
-
Step 9Apply another layer of paint and let dry again.
-
Step 10When the second layer is dry, peel the stencil off the shirt. Do this carefully!
-
Step 11Fixate the paint by ironing over it with a sheet of baking paper in between.
-
Step 12Take a stupid picture of yourself wearing your brand new shirt, to show how happy you are with the results.

1)What kind of paint did you use on your top?
2)When washing the shirt after applying the stencil, does the paint fade out? Will it have to be reapplied at a later date or will it be ok?
