Another question I get asked a lot is "How do you paint so perfectly?" usually in reference to my Trainer White's cosplay and the apron from my Malon cosplay from Legend of Zelda. The answer: I make contact paper stencils. Then I get asked, "What's that, and how do I make them too?" Welp! Here's a quick tutorial explaining just that! Enjoy! 
You can buy contact paper at most hobby shops and home improvement stores. Make sure to get the clear one! The transparency can come in real handy sometimes!

Question: What kind of paint did you use to create the pattern?
I used Jacquard neo opaque paints. They are possibly the best paints on earth for fabrics, hahaha. They heat set so make sure to iron them after you're done.
I see! I've seen a lot of other people recommend Jacquard for painting fabrics, but they don't sell it anywhere in retail where I live. 
Delivery isn't a very good option for me, either. I settled for another heat set fabric paint, though it was a bit pricey. But thank you anyways for the tutorial!
