Trace Zodiac Image onto Tracing Paper

Perforate along the Lines, to use as Stencil

Cut Cardboard to Fit inside the T-Shirt, and Secure it in Place.

Place your 'Stencil' onto T-Shirt, Where You Want Your Zodiac,

Then, Using the Perforated Lines, Trace Zodiac onto T-Shirt, with the Fabric Pencil,

Leaving Tiny Spaces Where You Want to Place Swarovski Crystals.

Remove 'Stencil', then Retrace Lines, to Make the Design More Prominent.

Using your Kebab Stick or Fine Paintbrush, Paint in the Lines of Your Zodiac,

in Your Chosen Colours. This Can Be As Dark or As Lightly Painted, as You Choose.

Place Your Swarovski Crystals in The Spaces Left When the Design was Stenciled.

Stick The Swarovskis in Place with The Rhinestone Applicator, Using the Correct Applicator Tip,

For Each Different Sized Crystal 'Star'.

Write Zodiac Name with Fabric Pencil, in Desired Area of T-Shirt.

Using One or Multiple Fabric Paint Colours, Paint Over the Fabric Pencil.

Mix Glitter into White Fabric Paint, and With an Old Toothbrush, or Fine Nailbrush,

Splatter the Glitter Paint Onto the T-Shirt.

For Bigger 'Stars', Dip Your Paintbrush into the Glitter Paint, and Splatter It onto

the T-Shirt, By Lightly Tapping on Your Hand or another Clean Paintbrush.

Allow To Dry, and Iron Over Fabric Painted Areas, to Set Paint into Material.
