Seriously cmon people why not just be thankful she bothered to do this tute for us .Everyone is a critic and critical spirits are not fun people .Thank you so much for doing this and taking the time I’m grateful .
Clever and concise. Finding a way to screen print without all the hassle of photo emulsion, big wattage lights, dark rooms, etc. has been a dream of mine that you may have just brought to fruition. Awesome stuff! Providing work-arounds that produce boutique quality product = Ingenious! Thank You
Hi! I'm sure by now you've already tried(since it's been 2 years. Lol) it but just in case(and for anyone else that may come across this), I just tried it and I didn't have to rinse between applications.
Great job, both of screenprinting on a budget, and making of the video. Been doing this stuff professionaly for a long time, and seen lots of ways to do things, and have done things lots of ways like this, with vinyl, only on real screen print screens, but you made it look so affordable with the hoops and sheer fabric. One thing you could do is next time, reverse the vinyl, leaving behind all the stuff you weeded out, and then pour emoulsion over it, let it dry. then weed the vinyl from the emoulsion, and you will have a permanent screen, without having to do any negative exposure stuff. Great work, keep it up!!!
Hello Dusty Nugget I'm Nefi, I was wondering if I could get a little more insight to you're idea, it sounds like a perfect plan, so I have never done this and I just got the Silhouette cameo, and I would like to do this and see the difference in quality. Well my question is how exactly would this work, sorry I am new to this. so I would have to put the sticky side on the outside and then weed it after it settles.so then also I would have to not mirror the image before cutting the vinyl am I right. what other suggestions can you recommend to make the best quality shirts? Please anything would help me. Thank you in advance
you can also do the same with mod podge :) just reverse your weed and paint over with mod podge sealer glue :) permanent and cheaper than emulsin yet :) and mod podge is sold everywhere
I watched your video about six months ago, and never forgot how cool it looked. First of all, I have no idea how you did that with one hand, but I commend you! I just got the Silhouette, and the first cut was the Beehive. In fact, my very first project was following you step by step. I am so excited to see this method so much more simple that screen printing with emulsion. Turned out great and now I am going to print on furniture. Nice job. Thank you so much !!
Thank You for posting!!!! This was great!! The only thing I did different was I did an iron on vinyl on the curtain because it kept coming up in a few spots. I mirrored the image. Then I put it in the hoop after I ironed it a few seconds. I needed to do several running shirts for a few friends with their logo. Worked so great!! Thanks for the video, so much fun!!
Thanks so much for this video! I picked up a box of screen printing ink for next to nothing at a yard sale and was hesitant to invest in all of the 'necessary' items. This is a good way to try it out before I invest. :)
You can also put it in an oven at 350 degrees for about 5 min. to set the ink. Thank You so much for the info! I have been trying for about 3 months to get a good screen with the photo emulsion. It is fun but so messy!. I am building my own frames, screening, and putting on the emulsion. This looks so much better! Thanks once again! beth
Loved your video! I have so many ideas and usually turn to UA-cam when I need to figure out how to do a project. I saw a pair of pillows on a popular website and they wanted a ridiculous amount of money for them plus the shipping. I think you're tutorial is just what I needed to make them!! Thanks for sharing it.
Very inventive use of available resources. Only concern you may have is ink spread in which your print is not as crisp as you may want it. I noticed you put your vinyl stencil on the top or ink side of the screen, if you reversed it and put the stencil on the bottom of the screen it will maintain a clearer edge. But hey, this works too and gives you that handmade effect most designers have to work at to make happen. Again, great work!
Nice video. If you do screenprinting more often but not often for business you can get speedball screens using coupons for well under 20 dollars from Michael's or hobby lobby. Once the screen is old it is easliy replaced with material I get for 2.50 at walmart. Have made lots of screens with a yard. Using a correct screen will work better because you can get better tension. Also if you use spray tack on the surface the item is going on it wont pull up when you take screen off. Less chance of messing the whole design up.
They do sell photo emulsion remover. Freezer paper works the same way. Used the silhouette to create the stencil using the freezer paper. The shiny side sticks to the screen when it ink is applied.
I was thinking the same thing. I have used freezer paper to paint on shirt, but never thought of this screen idea. Just wondering if freezer paper would work.
@@walenihula but how i cut feezer peper on silhouette freezar peper option is not available then which option i use like vinyl glossy peper i choice ya other option also but how feezar peper
Perfect, Totally using this method rather then stenciling. Was going to Mod Podge but this seems so much more efficient. Going to make my little one a Trick or treat bag~* Thanks for sharing!
Nice job. You may want to use a bit of Aleen's Tacky Glue (spray) to keep your clothing, fabric, etc. on to your surface while screenprinting. Other than that! Loved it for little projects.
Hi Your awesome at teaching this tutorial. I have a cricut and would love to make a silk create project. Still figuring out how I don't loose the centres of letters . So I am think I weed out the areas that I want the paint to go through which leaves the inside of the letters. Where am I going from here?
you actually are supposed to pull the squeezy over the screen, so the ink isn't left on the screen... you also safe on ink and get less blurry images or 'pulling' up of the ink that way. when i worked at a shop we used a dryer, to set..that is why I ask how that speedball ink is set. I've never heard of that kind....
This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much! A quick question: If I want to make multiple prints of the same design, do I have to wash the screen in between, or can I make several prints in a row? Thanks!
Thanks for the idea! I was wondering if i could use my silhouette to make a white silk screen background on colored shirts to place an iron on transfer. Black iron ons have this plastic feel to them and they dont stretch well but the white tranfers do. Silk screen seems to be a better idea to put a white iron tranfer on a black tshirt. Lemme know what you think?
Excellent video. I used to do a lot of screen printing. Yes, I agree, Speedball is the best! Now I'm thinking about buying a Sillouette. I want to do my own designs. Do you have a video for that or can you suggest one? Thanks
super cool! couple things you might try: first, when we screenprint with photo emulsion, the thick part of the stencil is on the fabric side... you might try printing the stencil mirror image then putting it on the fabric side of the screen, see if you get a more precise detail... also, we use about 1/8" off-contact to make the screen snaps back up after we press the ink onto the cloth.. you could do this by taping a couple quarters to your frame to keep the screen off the fabric a bit... lastly, i like to use thickened fiber-reactive dye to screenprint which gives no "hand" (that plastic feel you get with ink) to the fabric... you can try the recipe here: www.dharmatrading.com/techniques/fiber-reactive-dye-the-cold-batch-method.html
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I do have one question though. Which type of vinyl did you use? I have tried this before but have had NO luck getting the vinyl to stick to my screen. I have used both nylon and sheer fabric with the silhouette vinyl.
Thanks for this video! A few questions I have are: How do you ensure the image in on the shirt straight? Normally with HTV I'm able to stick it to the shirt and lift it up to eyeball it. What do you use to hold the screen down firm on the shirt? Also at what temp and for how long do you press the image after the ink is dried? Thanks!
Do you just rinse your screen with water? Also, if you don't mind sharing, what font did you use for the words "Bee Hive"? This is a great video! I learned a lot and can't wait to try the technique. Thanks.
You stated that there are plenty of tutorials on creating a Cut File. Can you recommend one so that I can use my own designs, or those designs from Graphics Fairy, for example?

Worked great on my 35 t-shirts I made with one screen for a family reunion! Thanks for the great tutorial!
Robyn Pearson I have a question if it's not too much trouble. What kind of vinyl did you use and did you rinse it off after each use?
Hi! I'm sure by now you've already tried(since it's been 2 years. Lol) it but just in case(and for anyone else that may come across this), I just tried it and I didn't have to rinse between applications.
Did you use permanent vinyl or the regular temporary kind?
Thanks for sharing despite comments about video not being perfect, you have shared your time & materials & I appreciate it!
Your embroidery hoop idea is INGENIOS!!!

and mod podge is dry in 20 minutes to use not 24 hours like emulsin :0
thanks for this. i've been screenprinting for years and this is a perfect solution to eradicate mess.
FANTASTIC! Been looking for a way to screen print for a while! Just wish I had found this BEFORE I went on vacation!
While I find your videography nauseating, I do really like your technique with the embroidery hoop. Thanks for the video.

Bev Wilson yeah that was the best move there so the vinyl wont peel off from the screen. iron or heat press if you have. nice one.
Thank you...Just finished a shirt tonight with your instructions! thinking of all the things I can do now!
Thanks so much for this video! I picked up a box of screen printing ink for next to nothing at a yard sale and was hesitant to invest in all of the 'necessary' items. This is a good way to try it out before I invest. :)
Thank you for showing the process! Im going to try this. Way cheaper than buying a bunch of iron on vinyl.
You can also put it in an oven at 350 degrees for about 5 min. to set the ink. Thank You so much for the info! I have been trying for about 3 months to get a good screen with the photo emulsion.

You. Are. Incredibly. Talented. Thank you so much for sharing!
Your explanation is excellent, Please invest in a tripod.
Or a headcam!
+Kelley Poulos Or a toddler that you could enlist..... also when your zooming in to a label to show us probably best if you actually focus
Headcam? Great idea!
Have never thought to do this! THANKS for this excellent tutorial!
Very vintage look..beautiful

your tutorial is very easy to understand . I'm waiting to see more. I would like to see some of more colorful fancy design print by your technic.
You're a genius for this! Thanks
Glad it helped!

You are my favorite person in the whole wide world. Thank You sooooo much!

Great way to do this process and save money and be creative!! Thanks for the info.

What a GREAT!!!!! Video.
I love it, even one handed it's very informative. Thank you!

You say you get a yard from Walmart... A yard of what may I ask? I want to make sure I get the right material.
Lakeisha Rice what i get is the sheer material like curtains. make sure its not a real loose weave
Thanks for a new idea. I like the idea of individual of individual items instead of mass produced.
Wow! I can't wait to try this! I've been wanting to find a good video on how to. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for sharing your process, great video.
Really cool idea. That image looked like a weeding nightmare though. lol Good job on your patience!
excellent creativity!!!
Good information. I think I will have fun with this!
Excellent narration. Thank you!

Would love to see you do a tutorial like this for wood!
Awesome video quick and to the point THANK YOU!!!

I love this! Thank you so much!
Vinyl cutters make the best sounds in the world.

thank you for a great video! I am excited to try this :)
This is great! Thank you.

you can use arcrylics just add some cornstarch as it thickens it up. and is non toxic ;) you can even use house paint ;)
I live in Austin, Tx and would love to screen print with you some time!
WOW!! Amazing, Thaaaank You!
Thanks for the idea! I was wondering if i could use my silhouette to make a white silk screen background on colored shirts to place an iron on transfer.

nice video
Great tutorial! Wish parts of video were more in focus than they were.
Thank you so much for sharing your tips! Wanted to confirm if you've used the Speedball fabric screen printing paint on wood ??
Thanks for this video! A few questions I have are:
How do you ensure the image in on the shirt straight? Normally with HTV I'm able to stick it to the shirt and lift it up to eyeball it.
What do you use to hold the screen down firm on the shirt?
Also at what temp and for how long do you press the image after the ink is dried? Thanks!
very cool thank you!
HOw do you clean the screen after?
have you used white ink on black or other color shirts? Do you have to do several applications of white?
#GoodJob love it ..!!
you can lay tape around your images so you dont have to worry about the ink touching the cloth?
What type of vinyl did you use?
Great Idea!!!
Hi, great video!. Do you mind sharing which machine you use for cutting the vinyl?
It looks like she used a Silhouette Cameo.
Thanks for this!!
Your instructions are great, but this video made me very dizzy.
Ok I have a vinyl machine now once I cut the vinyl do I put transfer paper on both sides or just one side and then run the ink threw the transfer tape
Do you just rinse your screen with water? Also, if you don't mind sharing, what font did you use for the words "Bee Hive"? This is a great video! I learned a lot and can't wait to try the technique. Thanks.
You stated that there are plenty of tutorials on creating a Cut File. Can you recommend one so that I can use my own designs, or those designs from Graphics Fairy, for example?
how does the ink set? does it air dry? it'd be better to use an ink that can be permanent and dry it with a step dryer wouldn't it?
You iron it after it dries. That will set the ink.
Is there a way to make a silk screen template rather than using the vinyl? It would be fun to make small silk screens...
Can you reuse the screen and the vinyl design again and again? or just the screen(with the hoop?)
where did you get your silhouette machine? and vinly
Jose V She bought them on amazon i was there when she did!
God bless all the brilliant women who are thinking outside the (silkscreen) box.
I'm going to try this because I'm having to make T-shirts soon and I need a fast and easy way to mass produce
Do you iron directly on the ink or do you put a piece of fabric or paper between ink/iron?
Thank YOU!!! I Love It!!!
Please let me know if you've done some shirts with multiple colors.
thanks I am coping your ideas many thanks
do you take the screens out of the hoop ever to reuse? or just buy new hoops?
How do you keep the hoop from moving around on the cloth you are printing to?
