Product description: DIY Silk Screen Paint Kit

DIY kit for making screen prints on various surfaces. Easier than working with a screen print frame!

Screen printing frame or screen printing stencil?

Screen printing is a traditional technique which is loved by many creative people. The technique originated in Japan, where textiles and silk were printed using stencils. The original technique uses a screen printing frame. Ink is pressed through very fine mesh with permeable areas. This creates an image on the substrate to which screen printing is applied. This technique gives a beautiful result, but is complex and requires a lot of practice. Screen printing stencils are much easier to use!

How a screen print stencil works

By using screen print stencils, you achieve the same result in a less complex manner. This set contains everything you need to do so: four pots of paint, two self-adhesive stencils and a spatula. How it works: you stick a stencil with a pre-produced design onto the surface that you want to screen print. Think for example of your favourite T-shirt, a drinks board or a cushion cover. Because of the adhesive layer, the stencil fits very tightly to the substrate and leaves no space. This also prevents paint from running under your design. Spread the paint with the spatula evenly over the stencil and wait until it is dry. Carefully remove it and you're done!

Step-by-step plan:

1. Place an adhesive stencil on the surface that you wish to decorate
2. Spread the paint evenly over the stencil with the spatula
3. Wait until the paint has dried
4. Carefully remove the stencil and admire the result!

Silkscreen T-shirts

The screen printing paint and screen printing stencils are very suitable for decorating T-shirts. How much fun is it to beautify your favourite T-shirt with an illustration, text or logo? You can use one of the stencils from this kit, but you can also design one yourself or choose from our other stencils. Screen printing T-shirts is fun and effective. You are busy and will walk around with a beautifully personalised end result for years to come. The paint is washable and will fade minimally in the wash!
