Great instructable! Does the wax paper work on a leather jacket?

[flio191]

eh, applying an iron would ruin the leather though. its tough working with leather. no pun intended

I probably wouldn't try it, but I don't know. You could find a similar piece of leather and iron on some freezer paper to test it out.

Nice one, FPS! Does the wax from the wax paper leave any kind of mark? Do you crumble it out of the fabric after, or just let it come out in the wash? What kind of freezer paper do you use?

Hey! Very good instructions. I only have one question...how long does this stencil last on a t-shirt, and if a spray paint would do to? Thanks

I've had mine for about 6 months and it's just fine. Although, to preserve it, you should hang it up to dry instead of using a clothes dryer. As for the spray paint, I have tried it and it won't set into the fabric. I believe that someone makes an aresol fabric paint, but I'm not 100% sure.

Really, it wouldn't set into the fabric? I've had some spraypaint stains last longer than the actual factory designs on some of my clothes. But maybe I'm jsut inept with a washer...

CLEANLINESS FAIL

[Rishnai]

lol, I can get things clean just fine. Except for spraypaint. Are you sure we're using the same kind of spraypaint?

Why are you up at midnight commenting on Instructables? Why am I up at midnight responding to comments on Instructables?

I blame it on global warming.

What's the possibility of adapting a normal oil based paint with alcohol, and using that to spray, and then I assume the alcohol with evaporate, leaving the paint?

there are aerosol fabric paints on the market, dont overthink this thing
