How to Make an Image for a Stencil

Video Transcript

GRACE FRAGA: So, we're back here with Chantelle from Wear Me Naked, and she's teaching us on how to make a t-shirt. And now, we're on step number two. What is step number two, Chantelle? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Step number two, now we've chosen that we're going to have the card stock... GRACE FRAGA: Okay. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...we're using the card stock for the stencil. So, step number two is to get the image onto the card stock. Now, there are several ways you can do it. You could print it if it's a computer image. GRACE FRAGA: Okay. CHANTELLE TIBBS: You could hand draw it yourself, but either way, you want the image on the card stock, the way and the size that you would want it on the front of the t-shirt. GRACE FRAGA: Okay. CHANTELLE TIBBS: So, I have the image that we're using today. It's right here. And this image is called "Swirltar." GRACE FRAGA: And it's the symbol for Wear Me Naked, right? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah. It's one of our top sellers. GRACE FRAGA: I'll hold it for you if you want. CHANTELLE TIBBS: This design is one of the top sellers, so... GRACE FRAGA: So, you're going to put this on the t-shirt? This is what's going to be on the t-shirt. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yes. That's what's going to be on the t-shirt. GRACE FRAGA: Perfect. CHANTELLE TIBBS: So, the next you want to do is you want to take an X-Acto knife. Be careful. GRACE FRAGA: What is some of the tips about the X-Acto knife, handling it? CHANTELLE TIBBS: I don't need to tell you this, don't drink wine and decide to do this. But they usually have covers which I don't have right now. But what you want to do is you want to make sure that you're in a situation where it's very well lit. You also don't want to be or put your stencil on top of something that is going to move or wobble in any way, shape, or form. You want to be safe. It's a knife. So, the same safety that you would have pretty much with the scissors or using a knife in the kitchen. It's kinda the same common sense that you want to have... GRACE FRAGA: Sure. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...when you're using an X-Acto knife, also not around children obviously.
