Now with a little ink and a tiny squeegee I can easily add my logo, size, Made in USA and all the care instructions to every piece of clothing! I made one screen for every clothing size that I regularly produce: Step 5: I set up my registered trademark, sizes, and clothing information for each label and printed it onto transparency film:Įach label was exposed onto a screen. NOTE: You can find my entire photo emulsion silk screening tutorial here for all the details of this process because I am kind of glossing over a few details: …and stuck push pins into the bottom for the screen to rest on as it dried in the dark. Step 4: I applied emulsion to each frame using a tiny squeegee ( the one I am using is from the Yudu line). ……I used a brush to apply a thick layer of glue all the way around the wood screen, using pressure to work the glue through the fabric.Īfter the glue was COMPLETELY dry, I removed the clips and applied glue to the spaces where the clips had been and then once the glue was dry I trimmed all the excess fabric off using a razorblade. I stretched the opposite corner last to pull out every last bit of slack. It is important to work across and around the frame to get the fabric as tight as possible. Then added 2 more clips on the other sides. Step 2: I used binder clips to stretch the fabric as tight as I could across two sides of the screen.
Step 1: I cut the screen printing fabric large enough that it would wrap just around the edges of the frame. I purchased about 20 frames and I ordered a pack screen printing fabric sheets. I found these little $1.00 wood photo frames at my local craft store and knew right away that they would make the perfect little screens. DecoArt Blog - Crafts - DIY Silkscreen - Hello everyone Have you ever wanted to experiment with silkscreening but without the heavy equipment and expense Well, today’s project is the perfect alternative for youI’ll show you how I create my handmade silkscreens using gloss medium as a resist, my favorite stencil all with very easy techniques for printing. I don’t like putting any type of tag in Lil Blue Boo clothing for comfort reasons (Boo is pretty sensitive to anything with tags)….so I came up with an easy way to silk screen all the information using little handmade “mini” screens: My biggest concern with branching out from my online store was that I had to come up with a way to better label my clothing so it meets FTC requirements. I’m so excited to launch a small trunk show line this coming spring for my tiny clothing line….but phew, SO much work.
