Video Tutorial: DIY Stenciled Shorts:

Instructions:

Place a barrier between the fabric in the leg of the shorts.
Spray the back of your stencil with repositionable spray adhesive. Let it sit for about a minute.
Place the stencil down on the shorts where you want the design.
Add a little paint to the foam brush and pounce it in open areas of the stencil. Make sure not to drag the paint brush so that the paint does not seep under the stencil.
Remove the stencil and allow it to dry for a few hours and wash the shorts before wearing them.
