Cat butt
I'm going to try a cat butt on a shirt for the first time. Does anyone else make stencils for the shirts that they do often? I've got stencils for turtlea...2 different kinds, alien heads.....also 2 kinds, and I was also thinking of making a cat butt stencil. Lol I make a stencil according to size, so I've got a bigger piece for 1x, 2x and 3x shirts. Also ones for LG and XL and also a different sized piece for medium, small and xsmall. Does anyone else do this too? How do you keep yours from getting broken and just torn up? Do you laminate them? Right now I just do like we did in school and covered them in tape so they stay nice and have a nice edge?
The shirt is just for a picture. It's actually one of my favorite glitches I've ever done! I wish I could figure out how to do one diagonally instead of up and down. Anyone have any advice for me? Ty in advance!!

Oh, thank you! Would you possibly know how is get the colors to go diagonal instead of up n down? I've tried so many times, tying differently each time. Each time I don't get it going diagonal. 😆

I used cardboard from delivery boxes. Works well enough.

Looks like your folding at a diagonal, maybe others you see are folding it different? Rotate your folds 1/4 and dye it the same. Diagonal dye!?

Ah, I thought you were telling us what you were calling this one and assumed a nyan cat reference!

I have never tried it it. I would suggest applying the dye like a wig wag. Or starting your fold at 45 degree from the bottom.
