How to Salvage a DIY T-Shirt Disaster

POSTED BY Sara Franklin, 27 July 2007

A few weeks ago, we at Thread Heads showed a cool way to make your own T-Shirt design with some spray paint and a stencil. This proved to be a little tough when we neglected the fact that you needed to use acetate for your stencil. So to fix up all of those disaster shirts, we thought it our duty to come up with a new design using the damaged project. For more info, check out the video!

 

 

 

First, cut out a rectangle from some cardboard just big enough to cover the disaster area.

Use the leftover cardboard as a stencil and spray over the shirt.

Be creative! You can use the stencil anywhere you want on the shirt.

Next, take an old T-shirt, and using stencils that you can get at a hardware store for about two bucks, spray paint yourself a cool phrase. We picked "Bruce Campbell 4 Prez"!

Cut out the words, pin them to your shirt, and sew them on!

We like this diagonal stitch, because it gives a cool punk rock look!

 

Add yourself a few finishing touches, and you just salvaged a DIY T-Shirt disaster!
