How To Make A Silk Screen Print

1: Place the screen on top of the paper with a stencil of your image underneath.

2: Place ink on top of the screen down one side and spread along.

3: Use a squeegee to push ink through the mesh back and forth.

4: Remove the paper to view your work and remove the stencil if not to be used again.
