Video Transcript

"GRACE FRAGA: So, we have the tweener in between the two layers of t-shirt right here, and now we're ready to put the stencil on the t-shirt and paint. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Alright, now, yeah. We're getting down to it, and we're almost there. GRACE FRAGA: Great. My favorite part, I want to see it. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Oh, cool. Alright, so you're going to place the stencil anywhere you want on the t-shirt. It's your choice. If you want it on the back, if you want it on the sleeve, anywhere you want, you're going to place the stencil down where you would like the image to be on the t-shirt. I'm going to put it on the front center, just because that makes it nice and easy for everybody. Now, you're going to tape it down just in case. You don't always have to. It's just safer that way just in case, and we'll get more into that a little bit later as to why that needs to be done and [OVERLAPPING]... GRACE FRAGA: Because of that you might use more Shout than you want to? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, exactly. You don't want to use up the Shouts but... GRACE FRAGA: Definitely. You have a lot of Shout. I can see that. CHANTELLE TIBBS: I have an economy packet my mother got me, and she doesn't like me stressed ever, so. GRACE FRAGA: So, remember get your Shout. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Make sure you get your Shout. GRACE FRAGA: That's number one. CHANTELLE TIBBS: So, there we go. It's all taped down and I'm going to paint the image right here, so, yeah. GRACE FRAGA: What color did you pick? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Black. GRACE FRAGA: Black. So, we going to have black on light blue. That's kinda hot. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, it's kinda hot. GRACE FRAGA: Yeah. CHANTELLE TIBBS: I was thinking of burgundy too, but you know what, we're just going to do black. GRACE FRAGA: Yeah, definitely. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Classic black, you can't go wrong. GRACE FRAGA: I love it."
