Step 6No paint no gain
Use the same method to place the stencil on the shirt (a light coat of spray adhesive) and then tap the brush into the paint lightly, tap a few times in the plate to get an even thin layer of paint on the brash and then tap the paint on the shirt till the whole area of the stencil is covered.
Make the layer of paint as even and as light as possible, if you are stenciling a dark tshirt with a light color and need better cover then do it 2 or 3 layers of thin paint rather then in one thick layer. When the paint is heavy on the shirt it's less comfortable to wear and doesn't look as good.
After the whole area is covered leave to dry for a couple of minutes and then peal the stencil off, to reveal the design.
Hang to dry (between 20-40 minutes, until dry to touch) you don't have to wash the paint before starting the next layer of paint.
Notice that the acrylic paint usually dry a shade darker then it looks when it's still wet so take that into consideration when choosing and mixing paints.
