Stencil1 – Stenciling t-shirts with teens in Miami!

Last weekend Stencil1 took its show on the road, and gave the people of Miami even more sunshine at the Soho Beach House. Children and teens of all ages created colorful t-shirts with a DIY attitude. But they are not the only ones that can create masterpieces. You too can create your shirts of art in a few easy steps!

Things you will need: Stencil1 Scallop Repeat Pattern, Stencil1 Turntable, Tulip Soft Fabric Paint, paintbrush, and t-shirt.
