Stencil Painting on T-Shirts

It’s been ages since I found out about stenciling on shirts. I didn’t try it at first, but since then I’ve given in and enjoyed many an afternoon of painting. It’s the drying that I am impatient about!

I love the purple caterpillar! That is Alice’s shirt and she picked the paint. She picked it before she picked which shirt to paint on too, so I’m glad it looks good. The yellow flower we are going to send to my Mom – maybe. I’m not so thrilled with it. It sort of looks…kind of lame. LOL I really love the buffalo and the horse! I wasn’t sure how to paint the buffalo because I messed up and cut out the center of the wing (the part that is all black), it was supposed to be just an outline.
So I improvised and did an outline and wow, I just love it. I did the sunflower before I did those two, I wonder if I would have liked the sunflower more if I did just an outline?Anyway, I love stenciling, we have plans to do more but ran out of t-shirts. I need to do some that are not center of the chest too. LOL

  • The shirts all look great but the caterpillar is my favorite!

    My daughter has been doing some stenciling and she has made some very cute shirts. I just don’t have the patience for cutting out the stencil–I wish I did!

  • Randi – I have a Coluzzle from my days when I was attempting to be a scrapbooker. LOL The little knife that comes with it has a swivel head – so when you are cutting curves, it moves smoothly. The stencils I did before I didn’t use it and wow there is a definite difference. I think I did the stencil faster too. It is definitely worth buying!
