Last year I showed you how to screen print using a paper stencil. When I was asked to create a lobster apron that resembled Champaign Plastics lobster bibs I thought I would tackle another screen printing technique.
It really wasn’t that complicated especially if you decide to do a simpler graphic than I did.
You will need:
– Screen
– Soft Pencil
– Brushes
– Screen-filler liquid
Choose your design and begin drawing it with a soft pencil on the back of the screen. (Notice I drew on the front side of the screen by mistake don’t do that.) Your next step will be to paint the screen-filler onto the back and it makes it a little harder to see your pencil lines if you do not draw them on the back.
Next stir the screen-filler and begin to paint on the back side of the screen. Paint the screen-filler everywhere you do not want ink to penetrate.
Apply several layers of screen-filler. Checking for full coverage by holding the screen up to the light to check for any missed areas. I went over my screen two or three times before I was finished.
Let your screen dry over night before use.
Very cool, Cassie! Loving the new design of your page, too!
Thanks Regan! When I figured out how to make a banner for my etsy shop I thought I should make one for my blog too.
