HOLIDAY SHIRTS TO WEAR AND TO GIVE
What could be more fun to make? A t-shirt with a Santa hat as its logo? A shirt with a line of Christmas trees in gold? Or a holiday snow fall? Choose one .pdf download, print out the stencils, and get to work. Each stencil includes complete instructions.
Santa Hat Shirt
This is a small image (2.5”x2.5”) meant for placement on the left upper breast area.
-
1.Download the stencil and print it on card stock.
-
2.Cut out the dark shape with a craft knife or scissors.
-
3.Tape the stencil to the shirt so it doesn’t more around. Place a cardboard or hard surface under the area to be painted.
-
4.Paint the solid red area.
-
5.Accent the fold areas using red paint mixed with a little black to darken it.
-
6.Use a thin brush to apply the red and glitter paint to the fuzzy edges of the fur.
TIP
If you would like this image in a larger version centered on a shirt, just print out the stencil .pdf at 200% or whatever size you wish. Then follow the printed instructions as for the smaller image.
Golden Trees
-
1.Download the stencil and print it on card stock.
-

-
4.Spray the back side of the stencil with repositionable stencil adhesive.
-

-
6.Dab gold paint on the trees and the line connecting them. When dry remove the stencil. Follow directions on the container for setting the paint if applicable.
