Screen Printing ~

I learnt from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H_utRjIGsc The beauty guru Bubzbeauty from youtubeland, her videos are always good to watch. I've wanted to do this since this video first came out =.=

I didn't have any organza or PVA so I guess it isn't really screen printing, just printing...

anyway...

The Easy Visual Guide to [kind of] screen printing a tee shirt

Ingredients:

- T-shirt

- Tape

- Paper to draw your design

- Card

- Sticker Paper [The type you get stickers on, contact paper is good if you have it]

- Sponge

- Scissors

- Pencil

- Craft Knife

- Paint

1. Pick your design of choice and draw out a stencil. [Also lightly pencil in the position of the elements on your T-shirt.]

2. Transfer you design onto a piece of cellotape on stickpaper or contact paper.

3. Cut out the part which will be painted in.

4. Stick onto the corresponding areas of your T-shirt.

5. Slip the piece of card inside the shirt [so that it doesn't stain through], blot away with your paint and sponge.

6. Repeat, wait for it to dry & then iron on wax paper.

*Tada*

Screen printing is a really neat idea, you can make something special out of something plain, I mean this is a men's t-shirt... [it was only $6.00].

*Tip: Men's section usually have cheaper T's

Byebye, it's complex numbers time ~.~
