:: ART STENCIL


There aren't any T-shirts available for sale yet, so if you are strictly hardcore you can do your own(!) Simply follow the instructions below.

You will need: a plain t-shirt, spray paint (black, red or white depending on the t-shirt colour and I think you can get some especially for use on textiles) a bit of patience and a few practice runs before you actually spray the t-shirt.

1) Download the following file -> Stencil (right mouse click and choose 'save target as')

2) Load 'Word' (or a similar word processor package) and set the page options from portrait to landscape.

3) Insert the stencil file and place it roughly in the middle of the page.

4) Load a fairly sturdy piece of card into your printer (you may have to change some settings on your printer to allow for the extra thickness of the card) and print.

5) Once the stencil is printed on to the card get yourself a sharp craft knife or Stanley knife and cut carefully around the black lines. Its best to have an old piece of wood underneath the card because the blade will go straight through. Take your time over cutting each letter out.

6) After you have cut out the S,B,6 and the two stars get your t-shirt and place the stencil where ever you want the design. Ensure that it is on a totally flat surface and tape the stencil in place. You might want to cover the area around the stencil in case of excess sprayage.

7) Spray from a fair distance and make sure the paint goes on evenly. Make sure you let the paint dry before removing the stencil.

8) You should now have your own 'special' Sonic Boom Six T-Shirt. Of course you can use the stencil to spray on anything else you so desire...
