How to Paint Designs for Custom T-Shirts

GRACE FRAGA: So, Chantelle is now finishing painting the border, the lines that you drew with the marker. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, I painted it. I decided to paint over it just to make it a little bit darker. You don't have to. GRACE FRAGA: But then you can paint it inside too. Can we paint a little orange here maybe? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, if you'd like, we can do a little orange. GRACE FRAGA: Just a little bit? Can I do it? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, of course. Okay, let's see. GRACE FRAGA: Great. So, you can have... CHANTELLE TIBBS: Where is that other brush? GRACE FRAGA: ...some color to you design with a little bit of orange, my favorite color and not Chantelle's. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah. GRACE FRAGA: Let me see. CHANTELLE TIBBS: There you go. GRACE FRAGA: I'll just paint it a little bit and--just a little bit of paint here with a little brush and maybe his eye I can paint. CHANTELLE TIBBS: That's a good dash. GRACE FRAGA: Yeah. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah. GRACE FRAGA: And then a little bit like--give him a little... CHANTELLE TIBBS: That's cool. That's actually really cool. And you do the same on top too. GRACE FRAGA: Yeah. How about here? It's going to be different. See? There you go. CHANTELLE TIBBS: And that's cool. GRACE FRAGA: So, you just paint whatever design you want to do and there you go. We have a little fishy now. Great. So... CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, so take a guess what the next step is? GRACE FRAGA: What is the next step? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Well, like you would do on a plain T-shirt, we're going to make sure this is dry so that we're not... GRACE FRAGA: Yes. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...cutting it and things are flying all over the place and paint is splotching all over the place so we'll make sure that we're cutting--I'm sorry, that we're drying. GRACE FRAGA: Drying. First the drying then the cutting. CHANTELLE TIBBS: First the drying and then the cutting. We're getting a little too excited. So, we're going to start drying right now. GRACE FRAGA: Okay, great.
