I had been getting comments saying you guys wanted to see a more affordable way to screen print.. so thats what we are doing today:)
Specail guest! Kristina! my sister:)
The material today that we are using are embroidery hoops, acrylic paint, glue, panty hose, sharpies, credit cards, (and scissors and paint brushes.. I forgot to mention those) and if you can't find panty hose you can use a thin fabric. I used chiffon. it worked really well:)
First thing you do is cut your fabric to fit your hoop. Then put it in your embroidery hoop. Make sure it's nice and tight.
I just cut off the excess fabric around the hoop..(I kinda wish I didn't.. it made it hard to pull it tight while I was using the hoop)
Now that the hoop is ready, we are going to draw the design on. When drawing or tracing the image on.. you are going to want to do it on the back. This will ensure that when you print it, the image won't be flipped:)
With Kristiana's design she is using black paint on white paper so she is going to cover up everything up on her screen that is white, with glue. I'm just doing the opposite.
If you mess up you can wash out the glue with water before it dries.
Then just let it dry. Once its dry enough put your hoop face down on the paper (or material) and use your card to squeegie it through the fabric. I found that with the chiffon you can keep your card pretty straight up and down with lots of pressure, but with the panty hose.. you need to keep your card flat so it doesn't pull the panty hose as you print it.
I went and rinsed out the paint with water... There were parts that the glue came out so if you want to use it again you will have to touch it up.
If I were to do this again I would have put food coloring in the glue so I could see where I had filled it in when I was touching it up.
The second process.. You prep the hoop just like the first way. The only difference is you use emulsion to get the design in the screen and print your design off on a transparent paper.
Activate your emulsion by putting the sensitizor in and mixing it well. This makes it light sensitive.. so you should coat your screen some where dark.
Then put it some where dark to dry.
Once it is dry you can either draw directly on the screen (from the back) or print off a transparency sheet. Then you can hold the screen up to the sun.
Make sure the design is blocking the sun from curing the emulsion and hold it up to the sun for 10 - 20 seconds.
Then you can take it to you sink and wash it out with water.. just keep the screen infant of the running water and don't use your finger to wash it out.. :(thats how I messed min up:( just let the water do the work.
Once it is rinsed out.. you should be able to see the light shine through where your design was. Let your screen dry.. and then you can print it:)
