how to : stencil onto t-shirts
DESCRIPTION
I am putting this up here for my cousin, Josh. I did this slideshow for a speech class. The key things you need for manually stenciling onto t-shirts is textile-medium paint, acrylic paint, and a really good xacto knife, which you can find at craft stores. As far as screenprinting goes, I have never done it that way.TRANSCRIPT
