Revamp a top in no time!!! Yays!
So I'm into revamping now. I wanted to try if coloured hairspray works on fabric ( this stuff is incredibly cheap this time of the year ) because I had nothing else at home. Maybe it will wash out, but so what! :D

Step 1First of all, create your stencil ( or search one on the internet ).
To do this, grab your picture and any photo editing programme, desaturate the picture and enhance the contrasts and levels until you have only black and white left.
-
Step 2Glue the printed picture on a piece of cardboard with the help of double-sided tape. Get an exacto knife and cut out the black parts.
The stencil I used here was made for another project. I just needed to try if it works.

Step 3
Place your stencil on the fabric, cover the rest with paper. Make sure there's no way for the colour to escape your covering. Mine did and it came out a little bit... crappy.
Grab your spray cans and use them in a sweeping motion from about 10 inches away. I started with a white foundation because I did not know how red alone would work on black fabric. After that, I put on a huge amount of red and some black.
-
Step 4Remove the paper now but let the stencil on for about 5 minutes.
If you want a really wonky grunge look, you can go over it with e.g. black now.
Let the piece dry for some minutes. And OPEN YOUR WINDOWS! This crap stinks and is not too good for your health.
-
Step 5Wear your one-in-a-million-piece with pride.
Fool around with stencils, random household objects and crazy stuff. You might even use your own hand if you are willing to wash and rub all that crap off afterwards.
and @LIFE: Oh nooooes! Glitter stenciling is awesome. Maybe - just maybe - you could have fixed the glitter down with somethink like hair spray or a clear spray of any kind?
