Stenciled Clothings

It's cheaper and a lot more exciting to make band shirts, ya know.

These are some of the things i have stenciled onto my clothes. i don't have money, so it's a lot cheaper to make a band shirt/patch/whatever. i have been doing this for about 8 years now, and a lot of the things i have made have long since fell apart, but here are some of the newer items i have made. Most of the stencil outlines i got from these really awesome websites: Stencilry, a.k.a. Kitty Buttons - www.stencilry.org Stencil Punks - www.stencilpunks.org i am pretty sure both sites have how to tutorials on them, but i'm positive Stencil Punks does. i've heard people swear by using textile paint, but i have had the worst experience ever with the stuff. It never seems to stay on my clothes, to say the least. i just use artist grade acrylic paints. Sure, it might crack a bit, but it has stayed on, and it's a lot cheaper and easier to deal with, i believe. Besides, you can pretty much stencil on anything. Hell, i stenciled on my bicycle, even! i used spray paint and duct tape for that, though. For the record, i did not make the Casualties patch or that Bettie Page patch.
