We are always looking for new crafty projects to do so when we found a place in Lubbock that offered a screen printing class, it soon became our latest obsession. So last night at the Garden & Arts Center, Kristen and I learned the steps for screen printing on fabric. Our fabric of choice was of course a good ole' walmart v-neck t-shirts and you know we made matching ones for the whole fam. The first step was deciding what we wanted to screen print on the shirt. Once we knew what we wanted a snowman and flower we had to cut them into stencils on freezer paper. We free handed the snowman and traced a flower image from the computer. We didn't get any pics of the stencils but here are some pics of everything else. Hope you enjoy.
We used royal blue and teal "Rit" dye to color the shirts.

After the shirts dry you heat press them before washing.
Then we added some buttons for the finishing touch

This was just so much fun and we ordered our own screen the second we got home last night! So this is only the beginning of many more homemade screen printed shirts to come!
