Today I will show YOU how to turn an old shirt into a crazy new hyped up rad piece of ART and in plus you get to show off you work by wearing it!
This is the current technique used by Monkey Business, a small home based compagnie that makes custom shirts and other cool stuff.
They use this technique because it is the simplest way to transmit you art onto fabric.
If you want to see more shirts made by MB, head on over to they're website!

The fist thing you need is a good image. start off with a nice an simple design (my first was a cloud...). It doesnt have to complicated to be beautiful.
it can be a color image... just turn it black and white, mess around with the contrast a bit until you're happy with it, then print it out on acetate paper (clear plastic paper used for projectors)
In this particular stencil, i wanted it to be big, so i put it on two pages, if your doing a multiple page stencil, make sure you have abit of over lappping room, so that your not lost when positionning the second (or third...) stencil.

Now I have a second favorite........ YOU!
Have you ever tried doing this on pants? After reading your instructable, I was stoked that my brain actually absorbed all the information properly and I diy'ddd some gnar-gnar shirts-even the ones I made mistakes on turned out gnarly- then I thought that it might be cool to stencil up some banksy+you (yes, you!) inspired jeans and (drumroll....)
They turned out pretty friggin rad.
THANK YOU ThAnK yoU THanK yOu!
:-)
well use the spray glue on the stencil before you place it on the shirt, that way your sure that the stencil wont move and leak everywhere. (be easy one the glue, you dont want it to stay there for ever. also let it dry for a couple minutes before)
i use acrylic paint, mixed with a textile medium.
Thank you so, so much for this. I'm definitely going to try it soon. And I love your art so much.
