Has anyone tried making their own screen tees? If you have, share tips and brands you used? I'm trying to make some of my own. Pictures would be nice if you have them. :D

I have done silkscreening on paper before because I don't have a shirt that I could test my silkscreening on.

The closest I ever came to that, was printing quotes out in paper you iron to your shirts.
.. it's pretty self explanitory. I'd give tips, but I don't have any. |

i have made a billie joe armstrong shirt before. i loved it.
i basically started off with a picture of billie joe that i got off the internet. make sure that you get a good quiality image, otherwise it wont turn out right and it'll be all blobby. i got some screening ink and special screening glue. i cut the borders of the image[itself] out. i layed the white polo shirt out on my counter, and then my mom did the hard part.  i believe she put the glue around the sides of the cut-out that i made, and then let it dry. then she put the ink on the left parts. but i'm not sure.when i get home, i'll check and see what brand of stuff we used. i know we ordered it off of some big craft retail store on the internet. |

I've made my own silk-screened shirt before. Apparently my silk-screen had a hole in it, and I had no idea...so there was this huge blob of paint. :(

i have made my own screen t-shirt
by hand with the ink and whatnot. but anyways, if you want to try for the rich kind, people like the logo chanel, dior, whatever. and you can attach hello kitty on it or whatever that's cute. or, you can try like, drop dead clothing (IHEARTDROPDEAD.COM) to make it like... not 'emo-y' but make it seem cool. alot of people love dropdead. or you can ask most of your friends or random people what they like best and make the designs and stuff. and put them all together. xxx |
