Screen printing frame or screen printing stencil?

Screen printing is an old traditional technique that is loved by many creatives. The technique originated in Japan, where silk and textiles were printed using various stencils. The original technique started with the use of 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 original technique gives a beautiful result, but is very complex and requires quite a lot of practice. Screen printing stencils work much easier!

How the silk-screen stencil works

By using screen print stencils, you achieve the same result in a less complicated way. You will need: paint containers, adhesive stencils and a spatula.

Start right away with the DIY Silkscreen Paint Kit. How it works: you stick a stencil with a design on the surface you want to screen print. Think for example of your new favourite T-shirt, a clog or a sleeping bag. The adhesive ensures that the stencil fits closely to the substrate and leaves no space. This prevents paint from running under your design. Spread the paint with the spatula evenly over the stencil and wait until it dries. Then gently remove it and Voilà!

Step-by-step plan:

1. Place an adhesive stencil on the surface 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!
