Introduction: How to Enter the T-Shirt Hacks Speed Contest

Have some old or boring t-shirts lying around? Then use them for your next DIY project! Cut 'em, sew 'em, dye 'em, print on 'em, add electronics, or decorate 'em with LEDs, googley eyes, and fringe -- whatever you need to make them fabulous.

So do you have some tips for making a dull shirt fantastic? Prove it, and win a custom laser-cut stencil that you can use to apply your favorite design to just about anything!


The requirements are pretty simple: modify a t-shirt in a creative way to give it a new look. You can use more than one shirt or add anything you like, but the result should still be wearable. Put the instructions and pictures in an Instructable in the T-Shirt Hacks speed challenge in the next couple weeks and you're good to go!
