Preparing Tracing Paper Stencil and T-Shirt for Painting
Trace Zodiac Image onto Tracing Paper
Perforate along the Lines, to use as Stencil
Cut Cardboard to Fit inside the T-Shirt, and Secure it in Place.
Place your 'Stencil' onto T-Shirt, Where You Want Your Zodiac,
Then, Using the Perforated Lines, Trace Zodiac onto T-Shirt, with the Fabric Pencil,
Leaving Tiny Spaces Where You Want to Place Swarovski Crystals.
Remove 'Stencil', then Retrace Lines, to Make the Design More Prominent.
Painting and Placing Swarovski
Using your Kebab Stick or Fine Paintbrush, Paint in the Lines of Your Zodiac,
in Your Chosen Colours. This Can Be As Dark or As Lightly Painted, as You Choose.
Place Your Swarovski Crystals in The Spaces Left When the Design was Stenciled.
Stick The Swarovskis in Place with The Rhinestone Applicator, Using the Correct Applicator Tip,
For Each Different Sized Crystal 'Star'.
Paint Zodiac Name - This Step Is Optional
Write Zodiac Name with Fabric Pencil, in Desired Area of T-Shirt.
Using One or Multiple Fabric Paint Colours, Paint Over the Fabric Pencil.
Mix Glitter into White Fabric Paint, and With an Old Toothbrush, or Fine Nailbrush,
Splatter the Glitter Paint Onto the T-Shirt.
For Bigger 'Stars', Dip Your Paintbrush into the Glitter Paint, and Splatter It onto
the T-Shirt, By Lightly Tapping on Your Hand or another Clean Paintbrush.
Allow To Dry, and Iron Over Fabric Painted Areas, to Set Paint into Material.
