GRACE FRAGA: So, here we are with Chantelle Tibbs from WearMeNaked.com. And she's going to teach us how to make a t-shirt. Now, what's the first step of making a t-shirt, Chantelle?
CHANTELLE TIBBS: Okay. Well, the option that I've chosen is to use a stencil. So, the first question is what material do you want the stencil to be? Would you like to be acetate? Or would you like it to be a card stock piece of paper? Acetate is like a very thin plastic.
GRACE FRAGA: Okay.
CHANTELLE TIBBS: There are pros and cons to using acetate. I mean, different people would argue differently, but I like to use card stock paper, and the method I'm going to use today is with the card stock paper.
GRACE FRAGA: Why do you prefer the card stock paper?
CHANTELLE TIBBS: Well, acetate gets a little bit of expensive. It depends on how you want to run it. If you want to cut the image out yourself...
GRACE FRAGA: Okay.
CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...or if you want to cut the acetate, then it would be a little bit cheaper but to go into getting somebody and make you a stencil. With acetate, we're doing the one thing that I'm trying to avoid, the setup fees, the computers, the--yeah. Everything I'm going to show you here today is how to do it by yourself in a very grassroots, easy, cheap way.
GRACE FRAGA: Nice. That's how we like it. So, let's start.
CHANTELLE TIBBS: Okay. So, I've chosen to use the card stock piece of paper.
GRACE FRAGA: Okay.
CHANTELLE TIBBS: The image that I'm going to use today is an image, a Wear Me Naked image called "Swirltar" and it's a swirly guitar.
GRACE FRAGA: Nice.
CHANTELLE TIBBS: And I have a finished product over here. So, this is what we're going to be making today.
GRACE FRAGA: Nice. So this is your symbol look, Wear Me Naked symbol. Nice.
