A few weeks ago, we at Thread Heads showed a cool way to make your own T-Shirt designwith some spray paint and a stencil. This proved to be a little tough when we neglected the fact that you needed to use acetate for your stencil. So to fix up all of those disaster shirts, we thought it our duty to come up with a new design using the damaged project. We are always looking for more DIY ideas, so if you have a cool project, send it in! And don't forget to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes!



Step 1: Your New Stencil

First, cut out a rectangle from some cardboard just big enough to cover the disaster area. Be creative! You can use the stencil anywhere you want on the shirt.

Step 2: The New Design

Next, take an old T-shirt, and using stencils that you can get at a hardware store for about two bucks, spray paint yourself a cool phrase. We picked "Bruce Campbell 4 Prez"! Cut out the words, pin them to your shirt, and sew them on! We like this diagonal stitch, because it gives a cool punk rock look!

Step 3: Conclusion

Add yourself a few finishing touches, and you just salvaged a DIY T-Shirt disaster!
