[QUOTE=plebeian scum;13286659]I love my school's screenprinting class. I'm basically doing professional-level work with mine now. Filling orders for club tshirts and such.

I disagree ... :\ Or are you talking about using elano green? That takes out a lot of complications with coating and exposing and cleaning. It's a pain in the ***, but it's harder to screw up.

Just put two colors on top of each other and run a sewing machine down one side. I think that's the easiest way to do it, and will produce the best results.

Of course that involves a sewing machine ...[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I'm talking about the Diazo Speed ball emilsuon (simmilar). The clean up isnt that hard with Speed ball (diazo) it rules!

I'm 17 as well :downs:

[QUOTE=GoldfingerSpokesman;13284253]Yeah, my experience is that it goes outside the fabric more than acrylic and takes a lot more to look solid than acylic.

I use the technique here (but I cut the freezer paper in an 8x10 sheet so I don't have to trace it from printer paper and can just print it):

yah, ill do that hten, it looks alot easier, and i can do like white on black and everything? cool, ill go buy the items maybe this weekend, im goin to fiendfest so i gotta make my own shirt yay

Here's a couple pictures of one of the wallets I've made myself. I made this one out of pennies, I've made 2 out of Pokemon cards, one out of Monopoly money, and one out of counterfeit money. This is the only one I've taken pictures of, and was the second wallet I made.

It's a bit sketchy, since it was the first time I had used something that wasn't paper, and the thickness made quite a difference.

It was a little heavy, but nothing more than a wallet with change in it anyways. I don't use this one nowadays, due to me being poor enough to need to use change, and the lack of a change pocket doesn't help.

This was fun taking through the airport security when I worked there, always got some weird looks from security guards when they scanned it.

I can put up a little guide on this (sorry, no step-by-step pics, maybe next time I make one I'll take pics along the way) if you guys want.

That is illegally awesome, you make me sick.

How could I get these really nice jeans that I have to be either solid black, green, or white? Could I use bleach to get them white? Dye? Also, where could I find flannel cloth fit to make pants from?

That is seriously awesome.

arg...the sparrer shirt ive been working now turned out kinda bad. ive been having a really big problem with the freezer paper. for one layer it works well. but with multi layers the edges stop becoming sticky, is there any solution to this.

ill still wear it cause i worked really freaking hard on it.

I'm asuming you mean the England Belongs To Me was the front right? That's pretty bad ***. Nice job.

Thanks for the comments on the wallet, guys. Would anyone want me to write up a guide on how I do it? It only takes about half an hour, 45 minutes if you're going to get al the creases out, assuming you've got decent packing tape.

I have a question: Does anyone know if the freezer paper stencils (from the link on the first page) are re-usable? I'm guessing they are, but I've never physically felt freezer paper, so I don't know. Can you iron it onto a shirt more than once? I'm only looking to do one-color shirts right now, if that makes a difference. Thanks.

there reusable to an extent. after the first go though they be EXTREAMLY weak esp if theres a lot of "peninsulas" or thin areas. im not sure about the ironing on more then once, ive think ive done it once. and it doesnt work as great. if its one color then you should be fine.

If your only going to make a shirt once then i would go with freezer paper. if you want to reuse it, then go with something sturdier.

Eh, freezer paper doesn't work that great with multiple applications. I've been able to get a couple applications out of one sheet, but it's better to go a different route with multiples. The stuff is flimsy, and most of the plastic is gone after the first time through.

One thing you could do is get something sturdier (overhead transparency or manilla folder) and adhere to the shirt temporarily with spray-tac. You can do that over and over.

whats the purpose of freezer paper, is it that you iron it on, so you get no access paint on the sides of the letters, and it doesnt drip down the shirt, cant i just use something else?

you can use what ever you want. the freezer paper is good just because it can stick on the shirt easily. and, its easy to trace your stencil and cut. Its just depends on whatyou find easier.

alright, sweet.

and i just gotta find a roller thing to put the paint on with, do they have those at most arts and crafts places?

I got a couple foam rollers and a paint tray at the local dollar store. For 3 rollers of different sizes, the tray, and a couple foam handbrushes (which I don't need, gave them to my mom), it cost me $3.

wow that was so cool. I'm so mad though i already made my jacket with out all those cool stencils. But its all good. I'm just gonna make a bunch of shirts with those stencils now.

alright cool, i plan on buying like 2 black shirts, and maybe a green one, like a misfits shirt, (black skull on the front, black shirt), then a blitzkid shirt, and then an adicts for the green, dunno yet, but ill put em on here when im done.

mullets: what paint are you using?

lets see, i got two companies. one is "Jacquard textile" and the other is "tulip soft fabric paint". why are you asking?

[QUOTE=Jono9119X;13303225]sweet man, just a logo?[/QUOTE]

I was (optimistically) planning on doing loads of different designs for the shirts using weird fonts and pictures of pandas, but I may just have a few different stencil of the band name in different fonts and then a few stencils of cool pictures then mix & match them for all the shirts. Shouldn't be too much trouble with cheap t-shirts and tons of acrylic paint.

suonds cool, post some pics on here when your done maybe?

i have to go out and buy a roller and some acrylic paint so i can make some cool lookin t shirts too :thumb:

I got some green spray paint from a friend's house, and although it's not exactly the color I needed, it is what I needed for my snakefinger stencil.:

It's not great, but it's better than my first try.

Here's how the wall looks. my friend went a little crazy with the green paint. I'm pretty soon going to paint over all of it, as most of it is just testing.

what is snakefinger?

is that minor threat cover a stencil?

[QUOTE=POINTLESS5448;13323995]what is snakefinger?

snakefinger is this guy that is associated with the band the residents and other ralph records things, but he also did his own solo stuff. He was pretty sweet, and I thought that that picture of him on his album cover would make a good stencil.

And the minor threat thing is partially a stencil. The red is a stencil, but I hand colored in the black.

looks sweet. the snakefinger guy looks sweet aswell.
