Do you like t-shirts with printed images on them? Do you know how those images are placed on the shirt? One technique is called Silk Screening.
This technique can be used on polymer clay surfaces as well as others. But today I want to share some DIY video tutorials from others on how to create your own silk screen They can be expensive and besides as a visual artist, I love very opportunity to create my own images/designs.
To Create Your Own SILKSCREEN You will Need:
💓A pair of panty hose, piece of silk or a piece of sheer curtain
💓A jar of Mod Podge or a decoupage medium that is dishwasher safe so the screen can be washed.
💓An image that is drawn on paper
💓A Embroidery hoop or m\a frame then duct tape to secure the screen part tightly to
💓Marker or something to draw image with
💓A Silicone or Teflon craft mat (optional)
💓One tutorial calls for using Freezer paper
When it is time to use your silkscreen on Polymer Clay, you will need:
💓acrylic paint. Or as one polymer clay video shows below, you can use the dry method. For that way, use mica, pigment or chalk powders.
💓A Squeegee or old bank card as a scraper device
To inspire ideas about what silkscreen printing can do for polymer clay, first, I will share some related videos!

This is painting by me, Anita Berglund. I paint with Acrylic paint,
the same paint used for silkscreening on polymer clay and other surfaces.
