Monster Tshirt

One of the best things about stenciling is it's versatility. You can use stencils to paint just about anything, including walls, furniture, or fabric, in styles ranging from traditional theorems to street graffiti.

And sometimes you can even stencil without paint.

The Frankenstein tshirt pictured was stenciled with bleach using a design from Stencil1. Wouldn't this be perfect for Halloween? Take a look at their instructions for stenciling with bleach before you tackle your own project. Their site also contains video clips showing Martha Stewart using Stencil1 designs to create TShirts with both bleach and paint.

You can find more projects like this in Stencil1 creator Ed Roth's book, Stencil 101. The book includes 25 reusable stencils. Ed's newest book, Stencil 101 Décor, is due to be released November 9th.
