Frame your T-shirt and stapling in the order of picture 2. Don't leave any wrinkle, but not stretch more because it can deform the picture.

My recommendation: stretch softly until the wrinkle disappear, stapling in the correct order.

The corners are very important, fold each corner like a gift box, all corners identical.

Protect Your Work
