Design Application
- 3
Prepare the T-Shirt
Place the cardboard inside the T-shirt to prevent paint from bleeding through to the back. Ensure the fabric is smooth and wrinkle-free.
- 4
Secure the Stencil
Position the stencil on the front of the T-shirt and use masking tape to hold it in place.
- 5
Apply Fabric Paint
Using a paintbrush, apply the fabric paint over the stencil. Be sure to cover all areas evenly. If desired, use multiple colors for a more vibrant design.
- 6
Remove the Stencil
Carefully remove the stencil while the paint is still wet to avoid smudging. Let the paint dry for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Curing the Paint
Once the paint is dry, heat set the design by placing a thin cloth over the painted area and ironing it on a low setting for about 30 seconds.

Clean Up
Clean your workspace and tools. Wash the paintbrushes immediately after use to prevent paint from hardening.
