Make a Sweet Stenciled T-Shirt

Step 3 Crop and Adjust Image

• In your favorite image editor (The Gimp), crop the image down to what you'd like the stencil to actually be.
• Then, using inches, size it to the actual size you want it. I made mine 7" but in retrospect I should have made it a little bigger.
• Duplicate the layer so you always have the original to go back to. Then use the Brightness and Contrast tool (Tools->Color Tools->Brightness-Contrast in The Gimp) to create a two-color image (black and white).
