DIY tees!

i've always longed to have business on making DIY stuffs like i've been doing all along. it's like, parts where i can do best. i discovered i can create stuffs since i was in the kindergarten. i made my own barbie from scraps of origami (to hell with that, mom bought me a real barbie soon after). so maybe i can post things i have or people have created or made.


and i felt like making printed tees this morning and i promised a friend to post steps of making your very own tees. so here are the steps:


  1. print whatever picture you want to put on the tees.
  2. put the paper on the screen, tape it so it won't get loose. note: you have to think which side is the front, cause it'll make the picture/words on the tees go backwards.
  3. spread the print ink (not sure what's the name, you can get any colour, whatever. it's slimy and glue-like). the point is to make the paper you put on is stick on to the net of the screen, so the blank part is filled, the picture part is blanked.
  4. dry it facing the sun. or hairdryer might help as well.
  5. when it's dry, we're ready to make the tees. put on the screen above the tees, backwards. the net is touching the surface of the cloth.
  6. paint it with whatever colour you like. if you want to have two-colours tees, you have to make two screens, and it works for the next numbers. to be honest, i still can't make multicolours tees by this method.
so, um, good luck, maybe?
