How To Make a Simple DBSK T-shirt ★

I've really wanted to make a DBSK or SJ shirt for a long time, so finally last week I bought the paint and did it :D I wanted to share how I did it, cuz maybe someone would like to try too... so here goes ^^;;

What you need:
★ Plain t-shirt,
★ Computer/printer (to make design)
★ Fabric paint
★ Paintbrush
★ Iron & iron board
★ One of those sharp things to cut out stencil
★ Freezer paper

1. Print design.
I typed "東方神起" in wordpad, press "PrtScrn" and pasted image into Photofiltre because it doesn't take Asian characters. Fiddled around, enlarged it, bolded it, made it gray (to not waste ink) and printed onto normal 8.5 x 11 computer paper.




2. Trace onto freezer paper.
Yeah, exactly ^^ Place print behind freezer paper, trace with pencil onto non-shiny side (the side that will melt facing DOWN).


3. Cut out stencil.
I used this tiny blade thing to cut out the letters.
SAVE THE LIL BITS that you cut out.
You need those.






4. Iron stencil onto shirt.
Put the ironing board through the shirt, so you only iron one side (not the back side). Center it, and iron on your stencil.
Ironing settings = DRY, low. Test it our yourself... hot enough to make the freezer paper melt and stick to your shirt, but don't burn anything... my mom helped me with this hehe ^^


5. Paint.
I used a black fabric paint (brand - TULIP) from a local craft store. It says it's "brush on; dries flat and flexible." Read the instructions of yours carefully. Then use a paintbrush to brush in the stencils. I did two coats, according to my pain instructions.

6. Dry/Wait.
I guess you're supposed to wait (4 hours, according to my paint) until it dries before peeling the stencil off. I didn't wait 4 hours (because I had to go somewhere but I wanted to see my finished shirt) so I peeled it off when it was dry to the touch.

7. Ta-da! DBSK fangirl t-shirt XD
Wait 72 hours before washing. Enjoy your t-shirt, made to show your fandom for DBSK though it'll look funny on me because I look full white and live in California. Sorry about the sideways picture >n<;
