Use a squeegee and mesh screen stencil to press vibrant ink onto T-shirts, tote bags, or paper — a workshop-based craft where you design, expose, and print wearable or giftable pieces together.

The Essentials

Steps

  • Design your artwork and turn it into a stencil on the mesh screen
  • Tape off the edges of the screen so ink doesn't bleed outside the design
  • Lay the fabric flat and position the screen firmly on top
  • Pour ink along the top edge and pull it across with the squeegee in one firm, even stroke
  • Lift the screen carefully and let the print dry fully before handling

Tips

  • Do a test print on scrap fabric before printing your final piece
  • Use one steady pass with the squeegee rather than multiple scrubbing strokes
  • Wash the screen immediately after use before the ink dries and clogs the mesh
  • Wear old clothes or an apron — ink stains are hard to remove
