Before beginning, wash and dry the T-shirt, without fabric softeners, in order to remove any sizing. Use your computer and printer to print out the template.

Tip: Simply adjust the size of the template before printing, to accommodate any size of T-shirt.

Following packaging directions and working in a well-ventilated area, spray a very light layer of stencil adhesive onto the front of the template. Let the template sit for about 5 minutes to let the stencil spray become tacky. This will make it easier to remove the template from the T-shirt later.

Place the T-shirt onto the form and smooth it out. Slip the template in between the form and T-shirt, and adjust it until the design is placed exactly where you want it. Smooth down the T-shirt over the top of the template so that there are no wrinkles.

With the black brush tip marker, press lightly to trace the template design onto the T-shirt. Carefully peel away the template, and use the remaining brush tip markers to color in the design to your liking.

Tip: Keep the T-shirt form underneath the shirt as you color in order to keep the ink from bleeding through onto your work surface.

Air the shirt for about an hour to reduce the odor, then place in a dryer on high heat for 30 minutes to heat set the ink. Wash in cold water only.
