DIY Spray Painted Stenciled T-Shirt for Fall

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• 100% cotton T-shirt (natural fibers recommended)
• Tulip Color Shot Stencil Pack
• Tulip Color Shot Instant Fabric Color: neon orange, yellow
• Paper towels
• Painters tape/masking tape
• Scissors

DIRECTIONS:

1. Lay the T-shirt out flat on a surface.
2. Protect the work surface and surrounding area from paint spray with drop cloths or plastic.
3. Choose stencils. Carefully weed the words or image to reveal the full stencil, and place on the T-shirt where you want to apply the paint.
4. If using multiple stencils, trim around the edges so that the stencils can be layered. Make sure the stencil openings are still entirely visible.
5. Place paper towels (or pieces of them) all the way around the stencils. Apply tape over the stencil edge to the paper towels to fill in all gaps. Make sure only the area you want painted is left showing.
6. Shake the Tulip Color Shot cans well for one minute.
7. Spray the first color in a sweeping motion across the top part of the stencils. Do not spend too long spraying or it may become oversaturated.
8. Spray the second color along the bottom of the stencils, allowing them to overlap. Then apply more of the first color and fill in with the second to create a gradient effect. The stencil should appear completely filled.
9. Immediately peel away the tape and towels to reveal the image. Set aside to dry completely for several hours.
