I’d rather use blackout emulsion for the image on a silk screen,much quicker and just as easy.

Elmers glue is just a brand of white glue. Like the liquid kind you used in grade school. Any ancient white glue will do. Also Modpodge is for decopage, basically it makes things hard. Go to any craft store and they will be able to get something like it if not the actual brand for you.

Finally a decent way to print at home! Thanks!!

Is Elmers glue like PVA glue? I have no thought what modpodge or Elmer’s glue is.

Brilliant screen printing tips!

modpodge is basically just school glue (elmers or otherwise)
May 8th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
that’s a smart thought!

make sure you use acrylic/plastic fabric paint. any other will leak.
May 8th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
i tried that one. paint just leaked through.

Could you use stockings for the fabric on the hoops ?
May 8th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
how about elmer’s glue with water ?
May 8th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Thank you for the tip!

you can use organza or chiffon, or any other sheer fabric like that. tulle wont work because the holes are too huge
May 8th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
My stepdad does that! Its so cool to watch.
