: Logo stencil, regular semi gloss paint and a sponge.

: First you have to make sure that you have a flat and even surface like a big table or box. Place the item on the table and remove all wrinkles and stretch the fabric a little bit. You can also fix it to the base if the fabric is too soft.

: Then you place the stencil on the item and fix it to the fabric. For the perfect paint distribution we recommend to use a piece of cardboard on which you put a little bit of paint. Then take the sponge and dip it into the paint..

: Any excessive paint should be removed by dipping on the cardboard where there is no paint. Then carfully start to go over the stencil.

: Make sure you do not use too much pressure since paint may go under the stencil. Use less paint first until you get a feeling for the paint distribution.
