Introduction: Do Your Own Star Trek Sweat Shirt !
If you are fan of Star Trek this instructable is for you !!!!
You will find here a good way to build a stencil and create a hand on a sweat shirt and when you open the zip Live long qnd Prosper appears! :)
FOR STAR TREK FAN : Sorry, Let's notice this fail as normally the thumb have to be separate from the hand !!! ;)

Be fair, but share :)

Step 1: Illustrator File and Jpeg File
Just download the illustrator file for the hand source or download the 3 jpeg
Step 2: Create Your Stencil
It is the most difficult part of this project !
I took a thin wood sheet and I directly cut in it !
It is a 2 parts stencil.
Step 3: Let's Try the Stencil
I try my stencil on a random surface to see the result and it looks good :)
Step 4: Print on the Sweat Shirt!
You just need a regular sweatshirt.
Then I put over it the stencil.
I painted it with a spray but forgot this option and relace it with proper fabric paint.
And finally let it dry few minutes and it is done :)
Step 5: Live Long and Prosper
That's all
Have fun :)

This is a great DIY tutorial, but I also think it's important to recognize that this idea has been also been done on Threadless. I'm not attempting to comment on originality or anything, just thought I would state that someone else has a similar idea.
The other zipper hoodie idea can be seen here: http://www.threadless.com/product/2464/Traditional_Greeting/tab,guys/style,zipup

That's a great idea. I love it! I noticed that if the sweatshirt is zipped completely, you have the Hand of Buddha.

I have to agree with applesforjonah, you are voilating someone's intellectual property rights as this is not even inspired by the threadless design but a blatent copy. You should consider removing this instructable before it is ordered to be removed.
