    what you need to do is get a paint roller and some fabric paint. if you use a roller with fabric paint on it and roll over the stencil it comes out perfect on the shirt and it doesn't wash off.

    i learned about making t shirts in graphics class stencil on tshirt will work but screen printing is way better and you can make billions of shirts in three seconds or even diffrent ones the screens like five bucks to make and you can use them forever look it up on google or some shit

    I have made alot of t shirts with regular old painters touch and they tend to stay in decent shape. they start to fade at around wash 7 but i mean you can make another one right. its free cuz you made it.
    STEP 1: find a picture on the internet. DONT PHOTOSHOP IT. PRINT it off in black and white. STEP 2: cover the blank side of paper in charcole or pencil, w/e you got (charcole works best) tape the photo to w/e you are cutting it out of. STEP 3: trace what you want to cut out with a pencil so that there are no islands. when you remove the paper a charcole image of what you drew should be there. no just redraw it in pencil so that the image doesnt smudge off cuz it will. STEP 4: cut it out and your good to go. I know this sounds like alot of work but when you want to do say a 7 colour stencil like my muppet one you need to take your time.

    you guys can check sites liek uptowns.net and shit. its a air force one forum but they got a section for custom clothes & shoes

    fags on there do a lot of custom shit they know all the good paints that last through washes and shit... there might be a better forum btu thats the only one i know off the top of my head

    Stencil by banksy. everything else on this i sewed on myself

    step 1 - find a stencil you like on the internet, or design one yourself.

    step 2 - trace the stencil onto the paper side of a piece of freezer paper

    step 3 - cut out the stencil

    step 4 - lightly iron the stencil onto whatever fabric you want the image on MAKE SURE THE WAXY SIDE OF THE PAPER IS DOWN. this makes it stick to the fabric so it wont move around and you get a crisp clean image

    step 5 - paint over the stencil, make sure there is no color showing through anywhere on the paper. you can use acrylic paint, any kinda of fabric paint, or screen printing ink. i find that screen printing ink with a mini roller or a sponge works the best.

    step 6 - wait until all the paint/ink is completely dry and peel off the paper. wa-la! no go out and work your new steez.
