The materials are an ironed T-shirt with plain color, a clover stencil, masking tape, a fabric paint of high quality such as Pebeo or Dylon, a piece of stiff cardboard, stencil brushes, and a kitchen roll.

First of all, position the stiff cardboard inside the area of the garment you want to paint. Place the stencil and tape around the edges so it does not move around. Apply a small amount of paint on the brushes. Swirl it around on the kitchen towel to remove the excess paint. Brush the paint over the stencil with an up-and-down motion until all of the surfaces are covered. Peel the stencil off the shirt. Now you have your own unique T-shirt to wear proudly.
