Como Realizar Estampados CaserosPara aquellas personas amantes de las camisetas o remeras estampadas, hoy les traigo un sencillo tutorial con el cual aprenderán a crear sus propias estampas de manera sencilla y económica.

Materiales:

Impresora. Papel rígido, o papel de radiografía o papel cartón fino. Camiseta o remera. Pintura para tela. Batea para pintura. Rodillo de pintar chico. Cinta adhesiva. Cúter o trincheta. Plancha.

Procedimiento:

Lo primero que se debe hacer es imprimir el diseño que queremos estampar en cartón fino, papel muy rígido.

Ahora deben recortar con un cúter o trincheta todo el contorno del diseño con sumo cuidado, prestando especial atención a cada detalle y tomándonos con calma todo el tiempo que se necesite. Si lo que desean es utilizar el mismo diseño varias veces deberán imprimirlo en papel plástico, o bien, pueden hacerlo en papel de radiografía de la siguiente manera:

Se sumerge el papel radiografía en lavandina durante bastante tiempo para que pierda toda la tinta. Luego de secarla bien, la apoyamos sobre el papel donde esta nuestro diseño y los unimos con cinta adhesiva para que quede fijo, luego recortamos en esta

todo el contorno y detalles de nuestro dibujo. De esta manera pueden realizarlo fácilmente con papel radiografía.

Luego de finalizar el recorte de la plantilla, debemos fijarla a la camiseta con cinta adhesiva.

Una vez que todo esta fijo, debemos preparar la batea con pintura, y el rodillo, para comenzar con en proceso de pintado.

Ahora pintamos sobre la plantilla, cuidando de no poner demasiada pintura, pero por sobretodos las cosas, no derramar ni salpicar nada.

Esperamos unos minutos a que la pintura se asiente y comenzamos a retirar la plantilla de la camiseta.

Para que la pintura del diseño quede bien firme, una vez que este seco debemos planchar el reverso de mismo durante unos minutos, de esta manera la calidad y la durabilidad del mismo quedan asegurados.

Hemos finalizado nuestro estampado casero, ahora ya podemos disfrutar de nuestra camiseta personalizada.

DIY Screen Printing

Some of you have asked how I do my screen printing. Weeell, last year I found a tutorial on the Thread Banger blog & it is AWESOME! I've had so much fun with my new-found crafty knowledge!! So, in this post I'm

just showing you pictures of my DIY screen printing journey, with my own tips listed along

the way. But please VISIT HERE for the Thread Banger tutorial.

I found all my embroidery hoops at thrift stores. I just use the "graphics" program 'PAINT' to draw up simple shapes to print out. The fabric I used is a sheer curtain fabric. At JoAnne's it's hung in the section with all

those long round bolts of fabric hung horizontal on the racks, among all the decorative home decor fabrics.

The Mod Podge part takes the longest. But, just take your time & get it all covered as evenly as you can & it'll be SOOOO worth it!

I use Speedball Fabric Ink & ordered it online.

I didn't have one of those fancy little screen printing squeegees, so I used a stiff piece of cardboard, & later reverted to my un-used laminated gym membership card. (haha!)

In the shop I have custom screen printed cupcake pillows & screen printed mushroom cards for sale. Look for more

screen printed goodness coming soon!

There are other methods of DIY screen printing I've seen that involve paper stencils. Screen printing Starter Kits are also available for sale.

Any questions? Please ask & I'll respond in the comments section so everyone gets to be part of any Q&A!

Happy Screen Printing!

Cheap screen printing tutorial Jun. 1st, 2004 at 11:17 PM

girlx512Alright, I've finally had the time to "screen print" another shirt, so here's the tutorial...

Materials needed: a t-shirt, yucky/cheap paint brushes, an embroidery hoop, screen printing ink (I use Speedball brand), a glue that isn't water-soluble (I use Mod Podge),

curtain sheer material/tulle/old nylons, and a computer with a printer (or a good hand for drawing things).

Find an image you like and that has good contrast. My cow needed to be "cut out," and I've only got Microsoft Paint on this computer and it worked fine.

Save the image as a Monochrome Bitmap file and it will turn it black and white. If this loses all the detail, fudge around on Paint or try a different picture, haha.

Print it out so the image is the size you want it on the t-shirt (and also so it's not bigger than the embroidery hoop you spent ¢67 on).

After pulling the sheer curtain material/tulle/old nylons tight across the embroidery hoop (and screwing it shut real good), trace the image onto the material with a pencil with the material close to the paper, not upside down so it's far away.

You should be able to see the pencil outline easily without squinting too hard. If it's too detailed, fudge some more.

Turn the thing over and with the glue, paint all the "negative space," (all the places you don't want ink to go, the white space). Make sure the material isn't touching whatever surface you're working on otherwise you'll end up gluing the whole thing down, obviously.

Some people say you can use tape to fill in the bigger area, but I think that painting the glue on all over the larger spaces is the best part, but do what you will.

After the glue dries, center the image on the shirt face down, and I sort of stipple the ink through the material making sure it's fully saturated, but also making sure not to glob it all over the place.

Carefully peel it back, wait for it to dry, and follow the "setting" directions on the ink (mine is to iron it on medium 3 - 5 minutes each side with a piece of cloth/paper between the iron and the ink).

I hope that helps some!

Edit 5/11/06: I get emails when comments are made and will always try my best to answer questions, even if they have been answered in all these pages of replies. No need to come to my personal journal to drop notes; I get them--I promise!

Edit 8/13/06: Here is a brief FAQ I compiled that might help some people with their questions so that they don't have to scroll through all these pages of comments trying to find it or emailing me with them.

What paint? What glue?

Speedball brand Screen Printing Ink and Mod Podge glue are both what I use. I don't like the way fabric paint looks on fabric and I've never tried acrylic paint mixed with a textile medium, though I know people have gotten results to their liking with both. Mod Podge is a non-water-soluble glue. It cannot be washed out once it has dried. I buy both at Hobby Lobby and have no idea where else they are carried.

My printed image looks pixelated and rough; help!

If you used nylons/tulle, that's probably why. I like those two fabrics if you're really on the low-cost side of DIY, but a sheer curtain material works much better as the "weave" of the fabric is much tighter, making a more detailed screen/print.

Will the ink bleed through to the back layer of my shirt?

Maybe. Use caution as you would when working on a shirt any other time--put some newspaper between the front and back.

Can I print on other things?

Yes, so long as you use the right type of ink/medium mixed in your acrylic paint. Speedball makes ink for metal/wood/plastic (I believe) and there are a number of mediums you can purchase for your paint.

Can I wash out the glue?

No, that's the whole point. The glue doesn't wash out so you can use the screen with the same image over and over again. I think it's a little too much effort to make to use just once; if that's what you want, I'd do a stencil instead.

How do I do more than one color?

I'm sure you can separate layers in Photoshop and such and make multiple screens, but I've yet to try it out myself.

I'm from Such and Such publication; can I reprint this tutorial?

Please email me: kristyk51 at yahoo dot com.

Eat meat, stupid.

No, thanks.

This is a stupid idea.

Then don't do it.

I'll probably continue to edit this as needed. Thanks!

Stenciling with BleachAugust 17, 2012 By Ashley Hackshaw

So here’s tutorial #3 in the bleach series! It’s an easy way to customize a shirt, fabric by removing color instead of adding it.

For my first project I used a $1 doily as my stencil. I placed it on a navy t-shirt and sprayed a mist of bleach over top:

I moved the stencil to another location and sprayed again.  You can see the color starting to change at the top:

Navy….turning to a dark pink/purple:

 

Finished:

You can also use vinyl or freezer paper stencils.  Boo picked out this image and my Silhouette machine quickly cut it out. I placed a piece of vinyl shelf paper in between the shirt layers too:

I used a sponge to dab the bleach around the stencil and I used a spray bottle to mist around it:

Once the shirt began to change colors, I sprayed the back of the shirt with bleach. Then I threw the shirt into the wash and here’s the finished result:

Bleach stenciling is an easy way to add lettering to a shirt too. Here’s one I made for Mr. LBB…..so he could sport the Lil Blue Boo name. You could also use a bleach pen for lettering.

 

 

Finished!  And….it’s something he’ll wear!

 

Sandpaper Printed T-shirtJul14

by Cindy Hopper

This is a super simple sandpaper printing technique that will keep your kids busy and make one cute shirt! The best part about this fun little craft is that the supplies were bought at the Dollar Store, even the T-shirt! We used crayons we already had so we only spent $2.00 on our new T-shirt.

 

Supplies for Sandpaper Prints

good quality crayons, a t-shirt, iron and fine sand paper. Our package of sandpaper had a selection and we used the finest. The more coarse sandpaper will provide more

texture. Give them all a try!

Pin It

Color a fun design on the sandpaper. Remind children that the image will be reversed. Once the design is colored go back over the design giving the sandpaper an extra thick layer of crayon.

Place a piece of cardboard inside the t-shirt to keep the design from bleeding through to the back of the shirt. Position the sandpaper right side down on the t-shirt.

Place a piece of parchment paper or paper towel on top of the sandpaper to protect the iron. Iron, on cotton setting, the sandpaper for about 30 second. Gently lift one edge and make sure you have a good print before totally removing the sandpaper. Iron a bit more if you need to transfer more of the crayon.

Remove the sandpaper. You’ll have a print with loads of cool texture–not to mention a new darling t-shirt.

To set the color, place a couple of paper towels on top of the design and iron. This will remove some of the extra wax. Toss t-shirt in the dryer for about 20 minutes to set the color. Launder by itself the first time.
