The link after the jump has a tutorial but it's not in English. However, I think following the steps will not be a problem because it's chock-full of helpful photos. Design variation: apply the steps on a pouch or even a tote bag if you're not a big fan of backpacks.

Instead of painting Aztec prints on a shirt, you can stencil them. The tutorial after the link shows you a way using plain paper.

You can also use colored paints for your shirt instead of going for a plain sprayed look.
