Make a Sweet Stenciled T-Shirt

Step 7 Put the Stencil on the Shirt

• Place the stencil you just cut out on the shirt. Put something (like some newspaper) inside the shirt, behind the stencil, so the paint doesn't bleed through. A little tape won't hurt.
• Roll and mix the paint in the palette with the roller. Uniformly cover to whole roller and make sure it is thick enough that it only takes a couple rolls, but not too thick so that it doesn't roll.
• Hold the stencil on one side, pressing down hard, and roll away from where you're pressing a couple of times, covering the entire stencil area.
• I like to layer colors. It adds depth to the design. But be sure you leave plenty of time for the paint to dry before applying the next layer.

how do you get the fine parts of the stencil to stick to the shirt?
