Step 9
Finally you need to start cleaning up your stencil. You need to figure out what color shirt you want to put the imave on and what parts of the stencil will be cut out. I chose to cut out the black of the stencil because I wanted to place it on a white (or light) colored shirt. You will also need to connect all of the pieces that will not be cut out - in my case the white). I went in with the paintbrush tool and cleaned up, expanded or deleted parts of the stencil that I wanted or didn't want.

Step 10
The final finishing touches are up to you and it depends on what kind of t-shirt you want to make! Have fun and experiment. My one piece of advice: if you are going to use words, pick a font that is blocky and not very detailed and space the letters further apart so that the paint doesnt bleed into each letter when you are painting it.
