Default Cutting out templates

Hey Im new here and completely new to this, but the thing is I have a couple of t shirts in my head I want to make for myself Ive made some in the past with the printer papers but this time I want to paint them with some templates Ive cut out.

So do you guys know of any tutorials or anything that describes this process as to what ink to use and stuff.

Thanks!

Um yeah... no one has posted maybe Im not being clear... What I mean is I made some stencils for designs i want to paint on to shirts. I found out that acrylic paint is a good one for this, is this true? Does anyone have some insight on this procedure?

Hi babujbf
You can check the tutorial section of Stencil Revolution site, they have some nice tutorials for what you want to achieve.
You can also check on Instructables and search for t shirt. There is nice information there for DIYers.

You can either use fabric spray paint or acrylic paint, depending on your stencil material.

Good Luck
