Okay, this is just the beginning of Screen printing posts. It's an easy skill to learn, but it's definitely not a one-post project. If you want to make your own t-shirts using screens, you'll have to get the right materials, and practice. Just to get you a little excited about the things you can do with the technique, watch this great video from the guys ant Make Zine. It goes very fast, and is certainly not the best one for step-by-step instruction, but it's fun and inspirational. Check it out!



If you're a beginner, and need to be walked through it a bit more try this screen printing tutorial on Instructables, or for a more in-depth look at how to make your own t-shirts, buy a good book. There's loads of them out there. This is a pretty good one:



Enjoy!
