Como Realizar Estampados Caseros

Para aquellas personas amantes de las camisetas o remeras estampadas, hoy les traigo
un sencillo tutorial con el cual aprendern a crear sus propias estampas de manera
sencilla y econmica.
Materiales:
Impresora.
Papel rgido, o papel de radiografa o papel cartn fino.
Camiseta o remera.
Pintura para tela.
Batea para pintura.
Rodillo de pintar chico.
Cinta adhesiva.
Cter o trincheta.
Plancha.
Procedimiento:
Lo primero que se debe hacer es imprimir el diseo que queremos estampar en cartn
fino, papel muy rgido.

Ahora deben recortar con un cter o trincheta todo el contorno del diseo con sumo
cuidado, prestando especial atencin a cada detalle y tomndonos con calma todo el
tiempo que se necesite. Si lo que desean es utilizar el mismo diseo varias veces
debern imprimirlo en papel plstico, o bien, pueden hacerlo en papel de radiografa de
la siguiente manera:
Se sumerge el papel radiografa en lavandina durante bastante tiempo para que pierda
toda la tinta. Luego de secarla bien, la apoyamos sobre el papel donde esta nuestro
diseo y los unimos con cinta adhesiva para que quede fijo, luego recortamos en esta
todo el contorno y detalles de nuestro dibujo. De esta manera pueden realizarlo
fcilmente con papel radiografa.

Luego de finalizar el recorte de la plantilla, debemos fijarla a la camiseta con cinta
adhesiva.

Una vez que todo esta fijo, debemos preparar la batea con pintura, y el rodillo, para
comenzar con en proceso de pintado.

Ahora pintamos sobre la plantilla, cuidando de no poner demasiada pintura, pero por
sobretodos las cosas, no derramar ni salpicar nada.

Esperamos unos minutos a que la pintura se asiente y comenzamos a retirar la plantilla
de la camiseta.


Para que la pintura del diseo quede bien firme, una vez que este seco debemos
planchar el reverso de mismo durante unos minutos, de esta manera la calidad y la
durabilidad del mismo quedan asegurados.

Hemos finalizado nuestro estampado casero, ahora ya podemos disfrutar de nuestra
camiseta personalizada.



DIY Screen Printing
Some of you have asked
how I do my screen printing. Weeell, last year I found a tutorial on the Thread Banger blog & it
is AWESOME! I've had so much fun with my new-found crafty knowledge!! So, in this post I'm
just showing you pictures of my DIY screen printing journey, with my own tips listed along
the way. But please VISIT HERE for the Thread Banger tutorial.

I found all my embroidery hoops at thrift stores.
I just use the "graphics" program 'PAINT' to draw up simple shapes to print out.
The fabric I used is a sheer curtain fabric. At JoAnne's it's hung in the section with all
those long round bolts of fabric hung horizontal on the racks, among all the decorative
home decor fabrics.


The Mod Podge part takes the longest. But, just take your time & get it all covered as
evenly as you can & it'll be SOOOO worth it!

I use Speedball Fabric Ink & ordered it online.
I didn't have one of those fancy little screen printing squeegees, so I used a stiff piece
of cardboard, & later reverted to my un-used laminated gym membership card.
(haha!)
In the shop I have custom
screen printed cupcake pillows & screen printed mushroom cards for sale. Look for more
screen printed goodness coming soon!


There are other methods of DIY screen printing I've seen that involve paper stencils.
Screen printing Starter Kits are also available for sale.
Any questions? Please ask & I'll respond in the comments section so everyone gets to be part
of any Q&A!
Happy Screen Printing!

Cheap screen printing tutorial

Alright, I've finally had the time to "screen print" another shirt, so here's the tutorial...



Materials needed: a t-shirt, yucky/cheap paint brushes, an embroidery hoop, screen
printing ink (I use Speedball brand), a glue that isn't water-soluble (I use Mod Podge),
curtain sheer material/tulle/old nylons, and a computer with a printer (or a good hand
for drawing things).



Find an image you like and that has good contrast. My cow needed to be "cut out," and
I've only got Microsoft Paint on this computer and it worked fine.



Save the image as a Monochrome Bitmap file and it will turn it black and white. If this
loses all the detail, fudge around on Paint or try a different picture, haha.



Print it out so the image is the size you want it on the t-shirt (and also so it's not bigger
than the embroidery hoop you spent 67 on).



After pulling the sheer curtain material/tulle/old nylons tight across the embroidery
hoop (and screwing it shut real good), trace the image onto the material with a pencil
with the material close to the paper, not upside down so it's far away.



You should be able to see the pencil outline easily without squinting too hard. If it's too
detailed, fudge some more.



Turn the thing over and with the glue, paint all the "negative space," (all the places you
don't want ink to go, the white space). Make sure the material isn't touching whatever
surface you're working on otherwise you'll end up gluing the whole thing down,
obviously.



Some people say you can use tape to fill in the bigger area, but I think that painting the
glue on all over the larger spaces is the best part, but do what you will.



After the glue dries, center the image on the shirt face down, and I sort of stipple the ink
through the material making sure it's fully saturated, but also making sure not to glob it
all over the place.



Carefully peel it back, wait for it to dry, and follow the "setting" directions on the ink
(mine is to iron it on medium 3 - 5 minutes each side with a piece of cloth/paper
between the iron and the ink).

I hope that helps some!

Edit 5/11/06: I get emails when comments are made and will always try my best to
answer questions, even if they have been answered in all these pages of replies. No need
to come to my personal journal to drop notes; I get them--I promise!

Edit 8/13/06: Here is a brief FAQ I compiled that might help some people with their
questions so that they don't have to scroll through all these pages of comments trying to
find it or emailing me with them.

What paint? What glue?

Speedball brand Screen Printing Ink and Mod Podge glue are both what I use. I don't
like the way fabric paint looks on fabric and I've never tried acrylic paint mixed with a
textile medium, though I know people have gotten results to their liking with both. Mod
Podge is a non-water-soluble glue. It cannot be washed out once it has dried. I buy both
at Hobby Lobby and have no idea where else they are carried.


My printed image looks pixelated and rough; help!

If you used nylons/tulle, that's probably why. I like those two fabrics if you're really on
the low-cost side of DIY, but a sheer curtain material works much better as the "weave"
of the fabric is much tighter, making a more detailed screen/print.


Will the ink bleed through to the back layer of my shirt?

Maybe. Use caution as you would when working on a shirt any other time--put some
newspaper between the front and back.


Can I print on other things?

Yes, so long as you use the right type of ink/medium mixed in your acrylic paint.
Speedball makes ink for metal/wood/plastic (I believe) and there are a number of
mediums you can purchase for your paint.


Can I wash out the glue?

No, that's the whole point. The glue doesn't wash out so you can use the screen with the
same image over and over again. I think it's a little too much effort to make to use just
once; if that's what you want, I'd do a stencil instead.


How do I do more than one color?

I'm sure you can separate layers in Photoshop and such and make multiple screens, but
I've yet to try it out myself.


I'm from Such and Such publication; can I reprint this tutorial?

Please email me: kristyk51 at yahoo dot com.


Eat meat, stupid.

No, thanks.


This is a stupid idea.

Then don't do it.


I'll probably continue to edit this as needed. Thanks!

Stenciling with Bleach
August 17, 2012 By Ashley Hackshaw



So heres tutorial #3 in the bleach series! Its an easy way to customize a shirt, fabric by
removing color instead of adding it.




For my first project I used a $1 doily as my stencil. I placed it on a navy t-shirt and
sprayed a mist of bleach over top:



I moved the stencil to another location and sprayed again. You can see the color
starting to change at the top:



Navy.turning to a dark pink/purple:




Finished:



You can also use vinyl or freezer paper stencils. Boo picked out this image and my
Silhouette machinequickly cut it out. I placed a piece of vinyl shelf paper in between
the shirt layers too:



I used a sponge to dab the bleach around the stencil and I used a spray bottle to mist
around it:



Once the shirt began to change colors, I sprayed the back of the shirt with bleach. Then
I threw the shirt into the wash and heres the finished result:



Bleach stenciling is an easy way to add lettering to a shirt too. Heres one I made for
Mr. LBB..so he could sport the Lil Blue Boo name. You could also use a bleach pen
for lettering.





Finished! And.its something hell wear!









Sandpaper Printed T-shirt
Jul14
by Cindy Hopper
This is a super simple sandpaper printing technique that will keep your kids busy and
make one cute shirt! The best part about this fun little craft is that the supplies were
bought at the Dollar Store, even the T-shirt! We used crayons we already had so we
only spent $2.00 on our new T-shirt.

Supplies for Sandpaper Prints
good quality crayons, a t-shirt, iron and fine sand paper. Our package of sandpaper had
a selection and we used the finest. The more coarse sandpaper will provide more
texture. Give them all a try!

Pin It
Color a fun design on the sandpaper. Remind children that the image will be reversed.
Once the design is colored go back over the design giving the sandpaper an extra thick
layer of crayon.



Place a piece of cardboard inside the t-shirt to keep the design from bleeding through to
the back of the shirt. Position the sandpaper right side down on the t-shirt.


Place a piece of parchment paper or paper towel on top of the sandpaper to protect the
iron. Iron, on cotton setting, the sandpaper for about 30 second. Gently lift one edge and
make sure you have a good print before totally removing the sandpaper. Iron a bit more
if you need to transfer more of the crayon.


Remove the sandpaper. Youll have a print with loads of cool texturenot to mention a
new darling t-shirt.

To set the color, place a couple of paper towels on top of the design and iron. This will remove
some of the extra wax. Toss t-shirt in the dryer for about 20 minutes to set the color. Launder
by itself the first time.
