[QUOTE=asdf]Feel free to use it.[/QUOTE]
I deeply appreciate the offer even if I probably won't use it. However if I were to make myself a W/IFS shirt, I'd probably use that stencil.

I was skeptical on making a jacket anyways. I don't care at all how it looks, it's just a jacket. I wasn't gonna spend a lot of time on it.

[QUOTE=asdf]I enjoy on improving on my DIY skills such as stenciling and sewing. I don't think I could ever bring myself to paint on a leather jacket, though. They're very expensive, and then you can't sell it. Besides, my leather jacket is actually still technically my mom's, so it's not up to me to ruin it.

That's exactly why I'm not getting a leather to patch and paint on, I don't trust my skills. I'll stick to denim and fabric.

I just got a Dickies jacket for Christmas, but I'm not going to put patches or anything on it because it looks too nice, but I may put a couple buttons.

I got a hot topic jacket for christmas from my aunt. Doesn't really matter that it's from hot topic, I'm going to wear it. However, I'm not going to patch it all up, either. I have one jacket that the patches are dedicated to, and after that I pretty much make shirts or patches by reqest/payment from friends.

I have a button maker, but haven't used it in quite a while. I should pull that out sometime.

This is my first stenciled t-shirt its not that great(its very blotchy)...

I'm not ashamed of owning stuff from Hot Topic, because they do have decent stuff, which I usually buy with gift cards.

I need to find me a button maker sometime.

the pattern on that vest is good for lining things up...

Me too.

It's like a giant graph paper.

Any ideas on what I could use on it? (paint, patches, studs...)

I'd probably limit it to patches and buttons on a vest like that.

i have an old army jacket that i am patching up. i currently have a NOFX patch and a DKM patch but am planning on putting on some more makeshift stuff.

My next stencil I'm working on:

so far so good.

You should put the Terricloth stencil on the back of your WI/FS shirt.

I made a shirt recently, using spray paint. And no matter what I do it wont stop reeking of spraypaint, I don't minda lil smell, but it is REALLY bad. I was wondering if there was a way to permenantly get the smell out?

How much spray did you use? What you should do is spray it really lightly, then wait half an hour til it dries (or however long it takes psray paint to dry), then another light layer, and that should be enough.

How do you cut out stencils?

[QUOTE=dropkickstreetpunk2]How do you cut out stencils?[/QUOTE]


Use either a razor or an exacto knife. Theres other things you could use, probably like a really sharp knife, but a razor of some sorts is really the easiest to use.

Xacto knives are wonderful, just make sure it's sharp.

[quote=Brain Toad]Xacto knives are wonderful, just make sure it's sharp.[/quote]

agreed.

Argh, so far all I've used to cut out stencils is a pair of nail scissors as they're the sharpest things in the house, besides all the giant kitchen knives... There's nowhere around me that sells Xacto knives.
I really wouldn't recommend (sp?) using nail scissors at all, they're pretty accurate but it takes hours to cut out big stencils :upset:

Here's the result from my most recent stenciling

It's just a practice, so it's a bit messy. I put on too much paint, but next time I'll know better.

You can sell it in the "Used vests, jackets" section.

That came out pretty good, maybe if you wash for awhile it might take some excess paint off.

You don't have any craft or hobby shops around you? Most of those places sell them. I don't much about England and it's shops though.

In England I think they're called Stanley Knives. You can get them from any DIY shop like B&Q or Homebase.
