How To screen print your own shirt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 кві 2017
- What's up! So today guys I'm going to show you how to screen print your own t shirt.
So the game plan is we are going to make the screen, then do a front print, back print. and heat set the ink.
What your going to do first is take your emulsion and activate it. What this will do is it will make it light sensitive. Your going to add a little bit of water to the activator. Not too much. and go ahead an pour it in. Make sure its nice and shooken up.. shaken up?.. idk shake that thing up and add it in. stir it real good. it will turn a nice turquoise color. pretty pretty pretty. so good.
Then what you have is your little trough and you fill it up with emulsion. Go ahead and coat your screen.
I did an awesome job... just great job. you know best coat of my life. Not really guys, but it worked.. and it works. So go ahead and coat your screen. I like to do front and back. Once its coated your going to put it in a dark place to dry.
So after that were going to print off the design. This has to be on a laminate or something that the light can shin through but dark enough on the spots so it won't shine through the [design].
I just bought the light off Amazon. it was a like a photo flood bulb.
after [the screen's] all dry your going to go ahead and set it up. Next you'll sticky the laminate. you sticky the laminate on the side with the ink. once its sticky place it ink side towards the screen on the out side of the screen.
Shine the light and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Once its done you should be able to peel it off and see a little ghost image. then go ahead and get a hose and wash out your design. wash it out till you can easily see through it, but don't go to long or you will mess up your design. there were some spots that were It wasn't so good so i just went back with a paint brush and emulsion and painted in what i need to fix.
You can also hold it up to the light and it will show you where the pin holes are in the screen. This will make it so there aren't any extra dots.
You can also tap the back of the screen so there aren't any more pin holes. this will help clean up the design. Next flip it over and go ahead and tape the edges on the inside of the front of the screen.
Then i just tape off everything I'm not going to print. I took an 18' squeegee and just chop sawed that into two seperate things. I also made a wood pallet. this is what i'm going to put the shirt on.
your going to want to make that super sticky so again use that spray adhesive and put your shirt over the pallet. I also put a little bit of foam core on the back of the screen - up at the top of the design and the bottom of the design. that way there would be some off contact.
So you line it up with the collar. I used this speedball ink its water based ink. We'll see how well it does. Go ahead and load up your squeegee and... two hits.. lets do a solid to hits.
if you want to speed up the drying process you can put a little bit of heat on it. Maybe a blow dryer? or stick it in the oven like a piece of pizza. Just for a second just to heat it up. What you want is to be able to touch it with out leaving any [ink] on your finger.
I'm going to do a second print. so I go ahead and wash out your screen. I can just used water cause its a water based ink. and your going to line it back up. This is the tricky part. The better you do this the better it will look.
Another hit and there we go.. we got a thicker print.
In order to heat set the ink i put the shirt in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 375 degrees fahrenheit and it was heat set.
Next clean up the screen and get the back print ready. So i tape off the first print. make sure its not going to get on the shirt from the back. re sticky the pallet. put the shirt on and align the screen where i want it.
oh yeah.. but first i put the foam core back on the back just around the design just there is going to be some off contact.
The off contact makes it so after the print the screen will lift up [from the shirt] and it will help you get a cleaner print.
Now you are a going to bake your shirt. put it on your pizza peel. to bake a t shirt... man i am so bad at accents.. any ways.
take it, make sure its dry to the touch, and were going to go for the second print.... and.. my description is too long.. haha oops.

That intro is so dope. It gets me every time
Isaiah Rooks Samee😄
Isaiah Rooks totally
honestly same
Thanks guys! It's vestige - elephant
Isaiah Rooks The intro sort of reminds me of the old MTV advertisements or commercials or something like that.
This video was super satisfying. Even though it's a bit too technical for this DIY'er right now, I'm so happy to know there's a way to do this yourself at home
Annika Victoria AHH ANNIKA I LOVE YOU
Annika
Annika Victoria need to see a collab w the two of you one day omg
mom!
miss Annikaaaa! Well how about I screen print something for you to sew.. causeeee... I could sure use you and your sewing skills.
protip: if you don't have something clear to print on, print your design on normal paper, and rub canola oil on it so that it makes the paper see through
Liam McFarland oooo! That is genius.. does it not ruin the ink on the paper?
I've only used printed designs, which haven't bled at all, but maybe if you were drawing directly onto the paper it could smear it?
Just to add to your comment, I took a screenprinting class and the teacher recommended going with a laser print on regular paper and using mineral oil, which doesn't go rancid. The toner of the laser print also avoids any bleeding of the print.
PROTIP
FAVOURITE DIY CHANNEL 10/10
heeelll yaaaaaaaaa!!
Doing this in college right now and it's one of the most enjoyable things. design what ever you want, get it put on a screen then print. There u go, a unique t-shirt! 😊😃
It's been a while since I've bought a tshirt that I didn't make or that wasnt a thrift shirt:)
Katelin can i use a squeegie for the emulsion as well as the ink or will that mess up the squeegie?
@@lowfivelou p
Man all of your videos are so well put together and easy to understand but still entertaining. You're a rad dude!
Ellie Marie you're rad!!!
I used to do this in highschool in my serigraphy class! A little tip: the teacher made me wash the fabric paint off the frame right after I've used it, then dry the frame with a blowdryer on low heat and use the frame again. If you won't do this, the paint is going to dry and close the little holes of the frame, and your print is going to look awful
Your channel is wicked! Reminds me a lot of the old Threadbanger days. Love their stuff now in its own right, but I miss finding quality DIYs and reviews on youtube.
Keep it up! Thanks for your hard work into the videos, they're really enjoyable and inspires me to find time to do more DIY things
I'm pumped you are doing more DIY things!! I need to find more time as well:) hah
i don't think i'll ever make anything but your videos are super entertaining and your editing is to die for.. plus it's always nice to have random knowledge in the chance it comes in handy
The more you know I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ haha thanks!
Well you became one of my all time favorite underrated youtuber like damn you deserve a LOT more subscribers and views and that intro is BOMB, creativity at its finest.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks! I'm trying to get more videos up... I might have to quit my job haha
I'm so fascinated by all the things you do and how good they turn out.

Just cannot get over the originality of your tutorials... Keep up the awesome work, man! All of your projects are rad! Super inspiring 👌👌
Thanks sooo much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Your account. Is. A. BLESSING. Been wanting to screen print for ages now but I never could wrap my brain around the whole process. Thanks dude, now I can finally make a bunch of shirts to sell.
Do it!!! I would love to see what you make! and I've learned some random stuff that could help since the video. haha just hit me up when you do it
I don't understand why you don't have more subs, your content is perfect because there is the right amount of silly and possible cringe with extremely informative content. Which is a good mix
This totally is Taylor.. you can't fool me... but also.. thanks so much!
Everytime I hear that intro I get so flippin' hyped, but I means its whatever brah
Everytime Im editing this video... the song gets stuck in my Roomate's head and he hums it the rest of the day 😂
You're like a reincarnation of a whole lotta artsy people, you're cool :) I envy your skills. I can't do any of the things you make but It feeds my brain.

Dude I love your intros!!!
THIS IS SO AMAZING HOLY CRAP.
Everything about this video is dope
SO DOPE, YOU NEED WAY MORE SUBSCRIBERS MAN!
love your video, I'm trying to get started doing shirt myself. thanks for the tips.👍
You'll have to show me how the shirts turn out:)
your videos are very entertaining! ☄
bro you're gonna like inspired to make my own brand or some shit, this is a lot easier than i thought it would be
It's cool to see this being done at home. I use such big equipment to screen print and I use a film emulsion and honestly had no idea there's a liquid one! It's just really awesome to see it being done in such a different way
I love that you appreciate this:) a lot of other "screen printers" are on my case saying It's being done wrong.. haha
Shmoxd Hey, if it works, it works!
My thoughts exactly.. haha
Woooaaaah it looks good ♥___♥
Love your videos🙌🙌
My friend is starting a t shirt thing.. and I was wondering how to screen print then... BAM! you post this :o
🙌🏻🙌🏻 you'll have to show me how his stuff turns out:)
YOUR INTRO IS EVERYTHING
Awesome video! Throw a set of hinge clamps in your brew and you can do the second print much easier using a hair dryer to dry the print without moving the shirt from your setup. That way the screen will fall in the same place every time ;) Come get some Catspit~!
I love this. Do you have instructions on how to make your screen/ where to buy one?
THIS WAS AWESOME
HAHAHAH you're a fun guy! like the t-shirt also!
this made me happy and idk why but i'm happy and i hope ur also happy thank u and goodnight
Sweet dreams
I love your intro 👌
I'm in love with your videos! they're so creative and fun, but I have trouble recreating the things you make lmao
Oooo i would love to see what you've made!
This is so dope
So happy i found this channel.
So happy you are here🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
You should do a tutorial on "hairy" patches, I mean, like the ones that are ironed on baseball bombers and so on.
Btw, love your channel!
I LOVE YOUR VIDSSS
I love this video so much! could you do a silk screen video on how to diy silk screen hats?

Just found your channel, i love it!!!!
Glad you found it!!:)
That's awesome :)
You are so good
This is an awesome tutorial!
Ahhhh:) gracias! es de Argentina no?
I fucking love your intro. Great video dude!
you my dude, are the dude. thanks for the info
Nooo you're the dude. No touch backs
I'm 2xlT Sobrino and I like a pocket t-shirt. haha
So cool.
A tip I learnt at uni is just print on regular cartridge paper and then you rub the front and back with baby oil and then the paper is transparent in the white areas
your videos are so goood omg
🙏🏻 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
When I was in high school I made shirts like this :> it was fun and miraculously I knew what you were talking about in this video 😂
Hellll yah:):) it's pretty fun right? Me and my bud Taylor made a clothing brand in high school... he made like this janky wooden press to hold the screen.. it was great
me encanta tus vídeos
Oh my god this is so good I would never know how to do this, I wouldn't even be able to draw the design to start with haha
Hahah thanks! Just make it up as you go.. that what I do.. mostly
Love the intro. can you do a tutorial on it? I see your obsessed with pizza and you made this tutorial look so easy.
hahah yahh... pizza is.. life..
and yah... I need to make another into type thing like that so maybe i'll record it as i do it.
