How Do You Create Graphic Shirts With Spray Paint?
Do you have a great idea for a tee-shirt design but don’t want to pay to have it silk- screened? Customizing a shirt with spray-paint is an easy, cheap way to create an original design that won’t bleed when you wash it. Decide on a design or phrase. The more intricate the image or the more elaborate the font of a phrase, the more difficult it will be to cut out later. Try to pick something simple with strong boarders to start out. Print the image or draw it on heavy card stock paper. The paper must be thick or the paint might seep through it after several uses. Plus, it will be easier to cut the image out of heavy paper. Use an X-acto knife to cut along the boarders of your image. Remember to only cut out the areas you want spray-painted, an easy test for this is to hold the paper up to a well-lit window once you’re finished to see if your image appears illuminated. If you are using multiple colors of spray-paint, you will need to create a stencil for each color you intend to use. Lay
