Step 1: Stencils

First, with some poster board, trace a few designs. We picked crosses.

Carefully cut out the shapes.

Step 2: Dye

Using a plain white T, you can make your own color by using some rit dye and boiling water.

Step 3: Spray Paint (Part 1)

On one side of the shirt, use the left over poster board as a stencil and spray paint lightly to prevent the paint from bleeding.

Step 4: Spray Paint (Part 2)

On the other side, use the cut outs and spray paint.

Step 5: Personalize

Give your shirt a personalized look by cutting or poking holes, dying, and/or adding some cool stitching.
