How to DO a printed t-shirt?

Now it's time to learn the second craft. I've been thinking for too long how to do it, and I had just decided that a printed t-shirt is the best option. It´s so easy to do, and the final result is amazing, so... Let's do it!
..............................................................................................

Materials:

Cotton T-shirt

Crayons
Pencil sharpener 
Completely clean paper sheets
Scissors
Pencil
Rubber




A little imagination to do the templates ^^
If you print some little things to draw them, you will need a cutter too.





1st  MAKE THE TEMPLATES

To print in the t-shirt, we need a template, so you have to make the one that you want to print.

First of all, do the design in pencil.
Then you can cut with the scissors to empty the inside part. 

The pieces that you cut and take off, will be printed, so it is important to trim the inside and not what left over in your drawing. If it is small, a cutter will be useful.






2nd  SHARPEN THE CRAYONS

Mine wax paintings will be what is sticked to the shirt, so it's very important. 

First of all, sharpen the grayons and keep the wax in a jar or something similar.


We will cover all the template with the wax, so have to sharpen a lot.



3rd  PREPARE EVERYTHING

Place the template over the shirt and puur the waxes.

It´s very important that the paper doesn't move, or you will have indelible spots on your T-shirt.




4th  IRON THE T-SHIRT

With the heatt, the crayons wax will melt and remain permanently on the t-shirt.


IMPORTANT: COVER ALL WITH SOME MORE PAPERS,OR YOU WILL BREAK DOWN YOUR IRON

Then remove the papers slowly, but with he crayons already melted.

You'll see some threads, but don't worry. When the t-shirt gets cold, you will be able to remove them without any problem, only by passing your hand over it.


To wash up the T-shirt you wouldn't have any problem, but remember, if you iron the it, the wax will melt again.
