DOWNLOAD TEMPLATES HERE!! thanks hannah Smile:

NOTE: it may take a while to download.



Let's start.!


What you need.
- a paint roller, you get them at your craft store for 1 buck.
- A plain shirt, washed once to shrink it.
- 2 A4 pieces of acetate aka overhead transparency papers. You can get them at your parent’s office or a printing store.
- A small Stanley knife, or a xacto cutting knife.
- White fabric paint,make sure its opaque and for dark materials.
- Small paintbrush.


1) Print off the templates 1-4 off the forum. Cut them in half and leave aside templates 1 and 3 for later.


2) Place the acetate sheet, on top of template 2 and stick the 4 sides together. Do the same to template 4.


3) Now start cutting! Cut out the negative space out. aka the black area(all of it)
Don’t get freaked about how much work you have to do, just take your time and work piece by piece. Make you sure you get breaks as well, the better cuts you’re doing, the better the quality of the stencil. Always be careful as most blades for knives are very sharp. Also be sure to have enough protection underneath your stencil to avoid damaging your cutting surface.


4) Now once you’ve finally cut out all the negative space, get rid of the white paper. You’re done! A stencil!


5) Okay, now the easy part. Lay down your stencil on the tee you are planning to print on. Make sure the fabric is flat, and start taping the stencil where ever you can, to keep in still. Now place a book, or a piece of cardboard in between the shirt to aid it to stretch out. (It helps the paint get in between the small gaps, esp. in girl’s ribbed tops)


6) Pour some fabric paint on a container or dish etc; and work your roller small bit at a time. It better to have smaller coats of paint on a shirt, than big sloppy ones. (They will wreck your shirt). Apply pressure, and make sure it’s an even coat.

7) Let it dry for a minute or two, with the stencil on. And slowly peel the stencil and tape away. Be careful! It may still be wet.


8 ) Now the tricky part, use template 1 and 3 to help you join up the bridges and fill in tiny gaps. Fill it in with some white paint and a little brush.

9) Leave it out to dry, or you can use a hairdryer to speed the process up.

10) To heat seal the shirt, get a piece of baking paper on the printed area and iron it for a minute or 2. Keep an eye on it, and avoid ironing on melt-able surfaces..(cough cough placidian !)

11) Now stencil template 4 on the back.


12) You’re done!! Wear the eisley boarder shirt with pride.

if you still have some questions, post them up here or pm me.

That looks totally awesome. I think I'm gonna try that instead of sending mine to a screenprinter and save myself some dough!

OGG is now hosting those template files, too:

wow. That is awesome.

I think I may do two on Saturday (when I have time: i do nowt on saturdays): one practice, one to be actually decent and wear!

Thankyou so much for the tutorials.




Just a word of advice for the printing of the stencils: Some acetate doesn't like being printed on and screw your printer. Make sure you can print on the acetate before using!

Judging by the pictures, it looks like she printed the template on paper and then overlaid the transparencies to cut them out. And yeah, printing on transparencies can be a total pain. Some are just made for inkjet printers; others are laser-specific.

groovy. And that is indeed what she did. I didn't read the instructions right.
