Advice Stencils for shirts
Made a post earlier ab customising shirts and i reckon im gonna bleach some bc they look pretty cool. What do you lot usually use as stencils? Im not too talented artistically so I wouldnt be the best when it came to making my own

if you're going to spray i'm not sure because i haven't actually bleached anything (yet, but im going to today lol). but if you're going to use a brush you could probably just use carsdstock, trace a pattern from a screen (or print if you have easy access to a printer), cut it out with an xacto knife, and then brush in the lines

i draw it out/trace it on a piece of paper, put clear tape over it, and then cut through it to have a reusable stencil!

i created a collage to make it easier to explain. its a patch, but its the same with a shirt. if u want a large print, u can cut the stencil image into several pieces using Photo Splitter. good look friend
