With relatively little effort and for little money can be achieved surprisingly good results with. The most important thing is intuition.

Will you have a specific motif on t-shirts and other clothes, so you usually rely on professionals who can realize the desire but accurately, but require expensive due to the high prices or screen printing process in the first print of a particular edition. Individual pieces are in almost unaffordable or not even possible. The alternative is: make your own!

Tools required and preparation

First of course is the shirt or the fabric to be printed, the most important. The motif should be at hand, as well as some tools. This includes: a brush, fabric paint for each substance, a foam paint roller, adhesive tape, self-adhesive paper and craft knife (scalpel). All this is usually easily available at most craft stores or online. Now the motif to be prepared. These prints it on the adhesive paper and cut out a kind of template. It should be remembered that at first it’s easiest to select one color motifs. So what should appear later as a print on the shirt has to be cut away in the template. The more practice you have with the cutter blades, the more accurate the prints and the more difficult and subtle motifs can also be selected.

t-shirts

The stencil is then finished, you should fix the shirt with duct tape on a substrate, such as a workbench or table, so that later when printing everything in place. Also now the template that is itself adhesive is applied to the textile. Here you should make sure that the subject is placed really well in the desired location and at an angle. In addition, the template should be everywhere adhere well and have no waves or wrinkles.

The first pressure

Are T-shirt template and then made slip resistant, it can also you’re ready to print. In the selection of tools for the application of paint, there are several possibilities, a paint roller made of foam provides a very consistent result. If you prefer a belligerence or more uneven pressure can also resort to using brushes or other painting tools such as sponges.

Thus, the pressure is also a long time to keep the shirt, you should resort to fabric paint, which is available at most craft stores. Among the colors there are several categories that are available for different types of fabric each suited, for example, color cottons or synthetics. If you wanted to work with a paint roller, you can apply the paint on them and then roll over the stencil until all points are well covered. Note: the more color applying to the shirt, the more opaque while the pressure, but you should not exaggerate, because the template otherwise soaks too much with the color and perhaps splashes of.

Waiting period after completion of the work

The pressure is now finished. Now comes the most nerve-racking: the wait with the voltage, if the pressure is really the equivalent notions. After about half an hour, when the paint is dry on the fabric, you can finally pull off the stencil and admire the first own pressure. Thus, the template also solves well the shirt, so that as you should not wait too long, otherwise the adhesive paper scraps can be partially removed only with difficulty. If all goes well, you are now the proud owner of a unique T-shirts, if not, then you should not let your head hang and still just start a new experiment. With practice comes the feeling of the pressure. So you can also try using first try on old clothes or fabric scraps before venturing equal to the latest shirt.
