Screen printing!

what you will need.

frame/screen.

fabric you want to print on.

squeegee 

ink in desired colours.


Firstly you need to design and then draw a stencil of the design you wish to print onto you fabric. Cut it out and place it on the fabric where you want the design to go. Now pour some ink onto the screen and place it over the stencil which should be placed over your fabric. Find something heavy to place on top of it to keep it from moving once you start printing. Now that you are happy with you design placement pick up your squeegee and slowly drag it over the ink spreading it over your design. Do this several times forwards and backwards and then lift up the screen to reveal your print!
