very nice :D

what did you use for it?

That Adicts shirt does look good. I like the choice of red paint instead of black.

When stenciling, is it better to leave the stencil on until the paint dries to avoid smudging, or take it off so the paint doesn't soak through? I'm using posterboard by the way.

i leave it on until it dries. and i was going to make it black with red background but the red was so perfect i decided not to **** with it.

Yeah, that Adicts shirt looks really great. What kind of paint is that?

By the way, I did a sprayed my Marley stencil onto some posterboard, then cut it out, then used the posterboard stencil to spray it onto an actual shirt. I'll post pics when my mom gets home.

i jsut used spray paint.

Looks very nice, good job.

Tis truly a great resource

The school was asking people for Battle of the Bands T-shirt designs in one week, and I was like:"Dudes, asdf couldn't even do that **** in a week."

Good story, I know.

I want to make a t-shirt with this picture on it [url]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Cheministro.png[/url]

Who is that?

Ernesto Guevara. On the back, I'd put his quote about "capitalistic octupuses."

For some reason the top milimeter broke off my X-Acto blade, thereby somehow completely f[size=2]u[/size]cking it up.

I made that exact shirt, except white paint on a black shirt.

You mean Che.

His real name is Ernesto.

While we're on the subject, everyone should watch the Motorcycle Diaries, it's a great movie.

[QUOTE=Flagjacket]You mean Che.[/QUOTE]

"Che" is the Argentine equivalent to "pal" or "mate" or "dude."

Sorry if you already knew that.

Does spray paint wash off clothes or wear off? Cause i would like to use spray paint instead of fabric paint. thx

I might wear a little, but it stays pretty well in my experience. My only advice would be to wash your shirt seperately from others, so that the paint doesn't bleed onto your other garments. Good luck!

Thanks man im gonna try it out.

[QUOTE=incubass]Does spray paint wash off clothes or wear off? Cause i would like to use spray paint instead of fabric paint. thx[/QUOTE]

It should stay on there. But when you do it, make sure you're spraying from a pretty good distance or else it will bleed and look bad. I made that mistake the first time I used spray paint.

That movie put me to sleep.

Actually, me too. But I was pretty sleepy at the time.

I usually print it onto thick paper and cut it out from that. Transparency paper works well too.

yeah, I print it on thick cardstock type paper. If you're going to be making a shirt then use a thick paper and use double sided tape to stick the edges against the fabric to get cean lines.
If you're going to do silkscreening I like a glossy cheap photo paper type because the paint won't soak through.
If you want a vandalism on buildings type of stencil, what I'd do is either the method you mentioned or easier to just put lots of double stick tape down on the printer paper, stick it to cardboard and cut. As far as thin parts, do your best. If you ruin it take some tape and stick it back together and trim off the excess tape.

Ok Thanks guys i was wondering if i was doing it right. Ill try to post pics when im done but it wont be for like a week.

good luck, are you making a shirt or what?

You don't really need thick paper though, I've used standard computer printer paper for all of my stencils and I havn't had any over/underspray or any other complications.

Damn, the boots in that Minor Threat stencil are hard to cut. It took me like 5 tries.

For stencils, I usually cut it out of computer paper, then spraypaint the stencil onto a sheet of posterboard, then cut out the posterboard, then spray it onto my shirt/whatever I'm doing.

computer paper is all flimsy and **** and thinker paper doesnt fall apart as easy and lasts longer. i print whatever out and then tape it to a folder and then cut it and then use the folder as the stencil.

I print it out on computer paper, and then staple it to a posterboard and cut it that way.

That's what I do except I use packaging tape to tape it onto posterboard.

[IMG]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i39/bassman727/PCDV0016.jpg[/IMG] thats the shirt i made i did it fast jsut to see how it would come out i used fabric marker and im probably gonna write skanking time above and below it. comments plz.

You used a fabric marker but you didn't join up the lines?! If you did it would look even better than it does. I always thought that was the whole point of them anyway, and why people use them with stencils.
Hmmm why putting it above and below it?
