Description 


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    It's best to work in a well ventilated area otherwise the fumes will get to you.


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Tape the image face down on to the fabric.


  3. 3
    Step 3

    Soak the brush with a little bit of turpentine and brush it on to a small section of the image. Rub down on the area with something hard (such as the end of a paint brush) for a few minutes.


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Paint more of the image with turpentine and repeat step 3 until you have covered the whole image.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    When you have finished painting and rubbing the entire image take a peak under one of the corners. If the image is too faint repeat the previous steps until the print is dark enough.

This is totally cool!! Is it washable? I've been wanting to print stuff on T-shirts as cheaply as possible, but I'd have to be able to wash them.

How would you do this with a comic that had words?

This is awesome, thanX for posting!

But I have a question: does it work for coloured images too?
