It’s better when you make them yourself.
I got into a discussion with a friend today about the idea that we’ve always wanted to make our own t-shirts. Here in Dundee it costs a grueling £75 for a screen print session for beginners - not exactly nice on my student budget. But why not do it ourselves?
The materials are relatively cheap (a cloth store nearby as well as a Primark round the corner). I found this tutorial extremely useful in fuguring out what I’d need. I’ve used acrylic and acetate before in creating a deviantART tee a few years ago but this method ensures that the design will remain useful a lot longer (and without any nasty bleed).
Here’s my first intended design :-
I’m really interested in this - has anyone else ever done screen printing? How successful was it? Was it a DIY project gone mad? Any tips?
