Screen Printing

Screen printing is actually very easy.

Question: Can I Use Fabric Paint to Screen Print?

Can I Use Fabric Paint to Screen Print at Home?

Answer: Yes, fabric paint can be used to screen print at home. If you want to go for a more flat and authentic 'screen printed' look, use non-dimensional paint. Dimensional fabric paint will appear thicker on the shirt.

Screen printing at home can be achieved with very few and cheap materials. You can even recycle an old curtain to use as a screen.
