I love all of the excitement surrounding the @ikon

I love all of the excitement surrounding the @ikonartstencil kit that I shared yesterday. I use this kit in addition to screen print with my Cricut to have the versatility of being able to screen print anything!! From distressed to oversized, between these 2 methods, there hasn’t been a project I couldn’t achieve! ⁠
⁠⁠
I have FAQs in my stories but wanted to recap a few of the most common questions about this kit....⁠⁠
⁠⁠
❓How many times can you reuse the same stencil? ⁠
⁠
You can use the same stencil to make tons of shirts back to back (I did 8 shirts in yesterday’s video but I bet you could get 50+ at one time!). Once you are done, remove the stencil from your screen and wash it. Once it’s dry, you can save it to use again. I can usually get 3-4 uses out of it before the film starts to break down. ⁠
⁠
❓What’s the largest size you can make?⁠
⁠
I used the 8.5x11 film to make this design. I printed the design all the way to the edge of the film so it was about 8.5” wide - perfect for adult size shirts! IKONART also sells a larger kit to make up to 12x18 size designs!⁠
⁠
❓If the film is adhesive, why do you stick it to the screen printing frame? ⁠
⁠
You can use the film directly on a shirt, chalkboard, or even a pumpkin! But when I’m making multiple shirts, I find that it’s easier to have the film on top of my screen printing frame. I can lift the frame and easily put it on the next shirt without making a mess! ⁠
⁠

I could geek out on screen printing all day long 🤓 Have a question, comment below - I want you to love screen printing as much as I do!!⁠

What's a beach vacation without matching shirts?!!

What's a beach vacation without matching shirts?!! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No Cricut needed for this project! Using the @ikonartstencil kit, you can screen print shirts for the entire family. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I put the stencil directly on top of my screen printing frame so I could use my press. This made it SO easy to line up the design on my shirts. You can also stick the stencil directly on your shirt without the frame or press. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you've got a vacation or reunion coming up, check out @ikonartstencil and personalize your own souvenir shirts the family will love! ⁠⁠

Have you tried mixing screen printing ink? I want

Have you tried mixing screen printing ink? I wanted to match the handles on this beach bag. I used equal parts of Jade and Vanilla from my Ink Recipe Guides. Swipe ➡️ to see how it turned out!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you're using HTV to make shirts or totes, this is one of the reasons you should consider screen printing. You can create your perfect color match with just a few basic ink colors on hand. These 2 colors were made with yellow, brown, white and black ink - all colors I had on hand. 🤯⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You can download my ink recipe guides on my website (link in bio) for a jump start into mixing screen printing ink.⁠⁠

The girls are about to head off to church camp. Everything is supposed to be labeled. Last year I screen printed their names inside their clothes. This year, I found an even easier way to label everything. ⁠
⁠
I screen printed on 100% polyester ribbon and used double sided fabric tape to make my own adhesive labels. You can iron on them onto clothes to make it permanent or you can stick them to sleeping bags or tote bags without ironing to be able to remove later. ⁠The nice part about the ribbon I used is that it’s soft, so no itchy tags!⁠
⁠⁠
I'll be using the extra labels for back to school. They will be easy to add to backpacks, lunch boxes, and jackets!⁠
⁠

Do you need to replace the screen of your Speedbal

Do you need to replace the screen of your Speedball frame? Check out my stories today (saved in Tips highlight too). ⁠
⁠
If you are making a permanent screen with EasyWeed, you can remove and switch out screens. Or, if your screen mesh is damaged or getting too loose, replacing the screen is so much cheaper than buying a new frame!⁠
