Give your plain white tee that extra POP with some color and a stencil! This DIY features an ombré technique that can easily be done with any two colors. Learn how!
Things you will need: A plain white tee, two or more paint and a paint brush, and a Stencil1 Small Image Stencil.
Gather your materials. To start off your shirt, place cardboard in in between your shirt to prevent paint from seeping to the other side of the shirt.
With the stencil of your choice, place it in your desired location. We decided to go with the Stencil1 Antlered Deer Stencil on the Levi’s® Sunset Pocket Tee. We placed it directly over the pocket!
Tip: Spray some spray adhesive to the back of your stencil. This especially helpful for detailed stencils, and it won’t leave a sticky residue on your shirt!
Grab your first color. Here, we chose red. Start off by painting just the bottom of the stencil. Repeat with your second color (in this case purple) but instead, at the top of the stencil.
Next, mix the two colors and paint the middle of the stencil so the top color and bottom color blend!
Once the paint is dry, carefully remove the stencil to reveal the final image.
And that’s it! An easy ombré deer!
