My husband and I are big John Cleese fans. In 1975, he wrote and acted in a British comedy called Faulty Towers. He played the role of a hotel owner and one of his stewards, Manuel, was from Barcelona and was still learning English. Their banter back and forth was very amusing and Manuel is a character we often quote. His one-liners still make us laugh when we quote them. We thought it would be fun to make t-shirts with one of his quotes and gift them to some of our family who also appreciate Manuel.
Basically, we took an image on the computer, turned it into a silhouette, printed it off, traced it onto poster board (or something slightly thinner), cut it out, and then spray painted the images onto t-shirts! This project is a bit time consuming, but the end result is worth it! I had Dan help me put together a step-by-step walk through to get you started.
**You will be working with Rustolium flat-black spray paint. To avoid intoxication from fumes, spray in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. You will also want to be where the wind isn't blowing too much. Wouldn't want all that hard work blowing away!**
