Base Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Gather Your Materials
Collect all the necessary materials: a cotton T-shirt, fabric paint, a stencil (if using), a paintbrush, masking tape, and cardboard.
- 2
Prepare Your Workspace
Find a flat surface to work on and lay down some newspaper or a plastic sheet to protect it from paint spills.
- 3
Insert Cardboard
Place a piece of cardboard or thick paper inside the T-shirt to prevent paint from bleeding through to the back.
Painting
- 4
Secure the T-shirt
Use masking tape to secure the T-shirt to your working surface. This will prevent it from moving while you paint.
- 5
Position the Stencil (if using)
If you're using a stencil, position it on the T-shirt and secure it with masking tape to hold it in place.
- 6
Apply Fabric Paint
Using the paintbrush, apply the fabric paint to the T-shirt. Make sure to cover the stencil completely if using one, or paint directly onto the fabric for a freehand design.
- 7
Let It Dry
Allow the paint to dry completely, following the instructions on the fabric paint label for drying times.
Finishing Touches
- 8
Remove the Stencil

Wash Instructions
Wash the T-shirt inside out in cold water to preserve the design. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
