Kay so i have this super cute shirt my sister gave me a while ago.I have never worn it though.Its an extra large and I take a small,so thanks to the pinch and pin method i am going to fix that as soon as i ahve access to a sewing machine.
ANYWAYS.I was at a yardsale recently and found some fabric paints that i picked up.I figured, "oh I cna put a skull on the back to make it a little more special".Would the simplest way to do that just be cut out my picture form carboard and put it on the shirt and paint over it and follow the directions on the label,or is there something else I should do?

If its the thick kind, then what I do is take one of those cheep brushes found in the water colors, and cut the bristles short. I just put a stencil on the shirt and press the paint in with the brush.

Remember to fix the stencil in place so it doesn't smudge or bleed. Boy...that sucks when it happens...O_o
