These girls have been in school for 100 days now… time they learn how to screen print! ⁠
⁠
 I had fun showing my nieces the whole process. Did you see their faces when they lifted the screen? 😍 They are going to feel so proud wearing these to school this week!⁠

This is one of the most special projects I have made ❤️ A dear friend asked me to screen print on her late husband’s handkerchiefs. She wanted to gift one to each of their grandchildren.⁠
⁠
Talk about pressure not to mess up!! These were so special and irreplaceable! I used my screen print press to ensure perfect placement of the monogram on each handkerchief. ⁠
⁠
Because they were so thin and soft, screen printing was the way to go. The @speedball_art fabric ink soaked into the fibers leaving a soft feel.⁠
⁠
Thank you, Kim, for trusting me with this project ❤️❤️❤️⁠

Unbox that Kit!! If you commented on my post last week that your screen printing supplies are still in the box, this is your sign to open it up this weekend! ⁠
⁠
I've made a video to help you get started. It includes the full process - from setting up the design in Cricut Design Space to cleaning your screen and heat setting the ink. Check out my latest YouTube video and let's do this 👊🏻⁠

I bought this IKEA pillowcase probably 2+ years ago and FINALLY did the project I had in mind for it! These pillow cases are great for screen printing but I have learned a few tricks to getting a perfect print.⁠
⁠
⭕️ Line up your screen before putting the painter’s tape on the screen. This makes it easier to see that your design is centered.⁠
❌ Don’t use the 10x14 frame for this. The full 12x12 sheet of vinyl fits better on this 16x20 size frame.⁠
⭕️ Instead of using a large squeegee, I printed each XO individually with a small squeegee. This made it easier to get even pressure on each letter.⁠
❌ Don’t squeegee over the pillow seams. When your squeegee hits these bumps, it can cause your ink to bleed. ⁠
⁠
Watch my stories for a more detailed explanation of these tips!⁠

Did you notice my trick for lining up the screen? Before adding the painter’s tape I was able to see through the screen to figure out my placement. I used dot stickers to mark the top corners, making it easy to line up the screen each time. ⁠

Confession time... what is still in the package?⁠
⁠
For me, it's the Cricut foil transfer tool. I just haven't gotten into paper crafts like I thought I would 🙃⁠
