Begin by gathering your materials
There are a few things that you need to get started screen printing your t-shirts. First, you'll need a screen. You can purchase these online or at most craft stores. Be sure to get one that's the right size for the area you want to print on your shirt.
Next, you'll need some screen printing ink. You can find this at any art supply store. Make sure to get a color that will appear well on your shirt. Finally, you'll need some transparency paper and a computer with a printer.
Once you have all of your materials, print your design onto the transparency paper and then use it to trace your design onto the screen. Then, apply the ink to the screen and print away!
Next, use your pencil to trace your design onto the piece of white paper lightly
If you're looking for a new way to show your love for all things t-shirts, why not try using a pencil to trace your design onto a piece of white paper lightly? This is a great way to make screen print transfers and a lot of fun!
