Another week, another Mini Maker show! This time we make some t-shirts and little posters using super simple screen printing! I thought it was going to be harder, but after a little practice, I found it was fun and easy!</p> <p>One problem might be that you need a lot of stuff to print on to make it worth spending the time on a screen, but if you want to make lots of shirts or valentines, it's a great idea!</p> <p>Have fun with this one, and remember to get out there and make something!</p> <p>PS - The pointer finger used in this episode is actually our finger casting from our last mini episode sanded and painted with appliance epoxy!! It's got some holes in it, but I think it's as good as the old one :)</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"> <h3 class="field-label">Tags&nbsp;</h3> <span class="field-items"> <a href="/tags/screen-printing" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Screen Printing</a>, <a href="/tags/silk-screening-0" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">silk screening</a>, <a href="/tags/art" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">art</a>, <a href="/tags/painting" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">painting</a>, <a href="/tags/drawing" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">drawing</a> </span> </div> Sat, 05 Feb 2011 00:48:01 +0000 Super-Awesome Sylvia 13 at http://sylviashow.com http://sylviashow.com/blog/sylvia/2011/02/04/screen-printing-made-super-simple#comments Sylvia shows how to do Basic Screen Printing http://sylviashow.com/episodes/s1/e6/mini/silkscreen <div class="field field-name-field-ep-type field-type-list-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Mini</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ep-youtube field-type-link-field field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><iframe id="player" type="text/html" width="500" height="311" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HyM4erwpelk?enablejsapi=1&origin=sylviashow.com" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Ever wanted to design your own cool t-shirt, or maybe wanted to put your awesome doodle on a bunch of different stuff like birthday cards, jackets or your backpack?
