1st step : preparing the stencil design:
draw the artwork on a paper / plastic sheet (you can also trace it.. let me know if u want a template). ensure that the artwork is not very intricate / detailed
cut the spaces like a stencil... remember the knife can cut fingers too ;)
oh yes, please use a newspaper underneath while u cut or else there can be scratch marks at the floor... You can also use cutting board
hold it opposite to light to see if the cutting edge looks fine. Now the stencil is ready.
2nd Step : preparing to stencil design on tee
lay the tee, insert a plastic sheet inside (or else the other side of tee will be effected too)
place the stencil in right location
keep books at both the sides to ensure zero movement of stencil
3rd step: doing design effect on tee
use the fabric stain remover (I used "RIN ALA")... pour it in a sprayer.. ensure that all ur metal rings & bangles are removed from the hand (or, u can wear a glove too)
spray the stain remover on the tee via stencil....see how the colors change... spray more if you need different lightness at spaces
the 'dripping effect' makes the hoot really gothic
after the required effect, remove the stencil and gently wash the tee with fabric softener (as shown above)
do the detailing with permanent marker and hang the tee for drying....
draw more details once the tee is dry...
your tee gets ready,
wear it and awe others ;)
