Iron the Shirt Place your Tee shirt on a towel and Iron out any wrinkles.
After you Iron out the wrinkles, Place a Peice of cardboard inside the tee Just in case the paint you chose Bleeds a little. NOTE: It is highly recommended to Pre-wash new shirts before painting on them.

Lay the Freezer Paper on the Shirt Place your Freezer Paper Stencil
(Glossy Side Down on Tee)

#22
Iron Over the Freezer Paper With a HOT Iron Go over the Stencil
(This makes the Stencil stick to the Shirt like a giant sticker) Notice I only went over the stenciled area instead of going over ALL the freezer paper. This will help later when we need to remove the stencil

Fabric Paint and a Sponge Brush Here we have our fabric paint and a sponge brush,
I use a small peice of freezer paper and pour the paint on it. NOTE: instead of using Fabric Paint, you could use Any Acrylic Paint, but you will need to add Fabric Medium and mix them together. Fabric Medium Can be bought in my store or at a art supply store. The Mix should be 2 parts paint 1 part Fabric Medium. Adding Fabric Medium Makes Acrylic Paint, Fabric Paint.

DAB IT ON ! Don't use strokes Let the paint Dry Completley, we will be adding another Coat, after the first coat Dries. NOTE to speed the drying process, you can use a Hair Dryer on High Heat, The Paint will dry in just a few minutes (instead of waiting Hours).

Let Dry as before, or use the hair dryer again. NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE THE STENCIL until the paint is completly dry, Or all your hard work will look smudged.
