How To Make Reusable Stencils With Photo Emulsion Sheets

This week we made our most requested project! A reusable stencil! We didn't even need our Cricut! We used EZ Screenprint's Emulsion Sheets. This is a great way to create a re-usable stencil! You simply print your image onto a printable transparency, lay it on the Emulsion sheet and put it in the sun. That's it, super easy! And since it has a screen, you can use it again and again! Watch how used this stencil on both hard and soft surfaces. You'll be amazed at the detail which required absolutely no weeding!
Stuff We Used:
EZScreenPrint: amzn.to/2WNlEgt
Grafix Ink Jet Film: amzn.to/2EVLDbw
Speedball Screen Printing Ink: amzn.to/2EUN61q

GREAT video. I’ve not seen this type of stencil. LOVE the ability to obtain incredible detail. Thanks so much for your contributions to us all. 🙏

[@ModernDayTech]

There's nothing better than doing an awesome project and getting a tan at the same time.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Ha! Right?! He's a multitasker...

Your personality alone is the reason I subscribed. Love it!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Aw thank youuuu!!

[@MacT4972]

I’ve bought these stencils before to use on quilts. I pounce a chalk pad over the stencil to transfer the image into the quilts. It works like a charm. Now I know how they’re made! TYFS, Kim & Garrett!!

[@axtonmichael3724]

i know it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch new series online ?

[@kathynelson3903]

Wow! This is an old video and I just found it. I’ve never seen this way to do a stencil. Crazy cool. Thank you!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Lol right??

[@liwhite484]

Spatula... love you guys!

[@tinaellis4844]

So amazing. Love it😀😀😀

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks Tina! It IS so cool!

[@kellyperry123]

Thank you so much! I spent quite a bit of money purchasing the EZ screen materials. I wasted two transparencies trying to make it work. I thought my printer didn’t print dark enough. But I was doing the black on top and setting that in the sun, you flipped it over so the transparency was showing in the sun! Thank you I was doing it wrong. I will try this way. I hope it works. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

[@tnh4235]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@hlucienne]

Oh my gosh, I think this is exactly what I've been looking for! BTW love watching you guys!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Yes! We felt the same way when we found out about it. It was easy and worked great!

[@hlucienne]

Kim and Garrett make it I really need to try it! It’s kind of expensive. I wonder how many times you can reuse it? 🤷‍♀️

[@kimmiesrhythms]

Awesome!!

[@janisward5361]

So much fun, thank you

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Our pleasure!

[@mszoomy]

That's awesome. I might try that

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

It works great! I definitely recommend it for something you will make multiples of.

[@Jess-xl1ku]

Omg!!!! Where is the LOVE button???????????? It's like you read my mind! I wanted to learn how to do this!!!! Ps- almost 11,000 subscribers!!!!!!

Thank you 👍

[@Shelm4382]

OMG.. you guys made me laugh! Him carrying the bag😂 PRICELESS!

[@dianawilson1970]

Very useful explanation! Thanks! If I make a smaller stencil than yours, can I put it under a UV lamp like the ones used for nail art, instead of putting it in direct sunlight?

[@juniperreyclay4703]

Cant wait to try this

[@olgarodriguez3584]

You both are awesome...love all your projects 👍

[@thekissofthegoddess]

This technique is sooo cool! Thank you for the video. Ya'll are so awesome together!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lorimenie3869]

Thanks for sharing.

[@karmindy1]

Thank you so much for sharing this information ❤️ it was just what I was looking for. Your generosity of sharing your info is greatly appreciated.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

You are so welcome!

[@PENFOLD1962]

"Some see WEED'S... Others see WISHES". Can the stencil be used on the reverse side? Brilliant video thank you 👍😷👍

[@gfhuerta]

Loved this. The EXSCREEN is not available. Any other suggestions or options?

[@robertmoore203]

Questions ☺️ So you mention putting it on the glass the right way, what is the right way? Ink up or down? Water, is water used to be cold or warm or doesn’t matter? And can you use this type of stencil on sanded pine wood? Surprised at the any paint use 👍. Thanks for the lesson 👍 BTW, love his energy 😂

[@dianavalle7075]

I have the same questions.🤗

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Just make sure the image is mirrored, the ink doesn't matter. We used cold tap water. Yep, you can use it on sanded pine, but I would dab the paint to prevent bleeding.

[@george-dt8dn]

good 🎉

[@atomicstudio6045]

Hi, many thanks for the funny and useful video Do you thinks this will work for stencils for face painting, I mean paintings over skin for kids thks

[@chrissiesmit2586]

Firstly.. Love this re usable stencil method. Question: Did you use normal printing on the printable transparency paper? New to this all! Lot to learn still!

[@niccologomrrah]

I was wondering what side you print it on

[@cecylemus912]

You are such a great couple ❤️

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

So sweet thank you!

[@elvishmyst]

that is so cool.

[@jillbeaudette6510]

You guys are simply amazing!! I have been wanting to do this but didn't know how to.. Thanks so much for making these videos u guys are awesome to watch

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks for watching Jill!

[@gustavotobon7042]

Great video but what did you mean when said put the transparency facing in the right direction. Thank you

[@kristirivera8707]

That's amazing

[@bigshoe1835]

Could this stencil be used, using multiple colored paints within the pattern?

[@OakAthainNerin]

You can wash it and keep reusing it?

[@olgarodriguez3584]

Awesome

[@vbrown5943]

This is awesome! I almost purchased a machine that had the same results. Thanks so much!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Great to hear!

[@frankylee4266]

Great video thanks I’m very confused though. I’m not seeing holes in the stencil so can’t understand how the paints going through…are there holes? And I just can’t see them, you never really showed a close up of the blue sheet after it came out of the water.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Yes, it's a screen so where the emulsion is rinsed there's screen material

[@frankylee4266]

@@KimandGarrettmakeit thank you so much for answering an older video. Appreciate you taking the time.

[@LindaJonesHopeHouse]

Love this video! Love this CHANNEL! I've been looking for an easy stencil I can reuse and this video shows a great way to do that, so thank you for that! You two make everything seem fun and easy...so looks like this project is next on my to-do list!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

It really is that easy!!!

[@nickmuzekari6124]

Great video, thanks. How many uses which these type of stencils? Does it depend on how many times they are washed? If so, wondering if just wiping them clean for use with same color will allow them to last longer?

[@gloriagiefer3013]

Is the acrylic paint you're using mixed with a medium or just straight acrylic paint

[@FabulouslyJih]

Is there a video showing how you did the design to put on the grafix film?

[@DoctorColg8]

Could you out links to other products mentioned like the "cricket" and the "easy press".

[@RainorShine1]

I know this is 3 years old but wonder if you could use like chalk paste on a surface? Kind of like chalk couture so we can wipe off and do a different season would be so cool and cheaper?

[@jham006]

Just what i was looking for! Does it matter what type of printer? Laser or inkjet???ty

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Both printers will work, just use the highest quality print setting so the black is as dark as possible. We just did a new version of this with IkonArt

[@marybaker8689]

I love this technique! I was just wondering, is there a way to put some kind of adhesive on the back to kinda make it like a chalk couture transfer? Just curious.

[@Candice-bn3pv]

Hello, so did you try it with chalk couture paste or ink?? also did you try any adhesive yet?

[@D.Upchurch100]

Could I use a black and white photo for this?

[@777gwc]

Special printer needed? Price to make?

[@cfaden]

I found something similar to the photo emulsion sheet but its sticky backed material and reusable over and over again. Any idea what that is called? This was great! I was relieved to know I wouldn't have to buy a 200 dollar light machine to do this. TY!!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Yes, IkonArt has a sticky version.

[@likividesigns]

Can you rinse the paint off the stencil and use it again in a few days months, etc? Or is it only reusable immediately using the same paint for both projects while it's still wet? Silk screenprinting businesses spray something on their emulsioned screens to wash the emulsion away once a job is complete so they can reuse the screens over and over. I'm not sure what they're using to weaken the emulsion so it can be sprayed away. I wouldn't want an ingredient in the paint to do the same thing and ruin a stencil.

[@loriarnold1478]

so I'm sorry you prob said it but you buy the actual stencil/picture correct? THANK YOU!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Hi! We offer the digital file and the wood letters. The digital file can be used to make a stencil with a cutting machine like a Crcut or a Silouettrr. Or you can cut wood letters using a laser like the Glowforge.

[@kentmyles6784]

Any link to an emulsion paper on amazon nowadays? The EZscreenprint sheets are no longer available 😢

[@rawhero5703]

Excuse me - would you be able to use a spray paint instead of the paint and squidgy ?

[@mariposam5559]

Hi guys, what temperature does the water need to be ? We put the printed side up right and the E sheet on top of the printed side correct ? Also how did you wipe away the paint from the stencil when you were done ? Thank you 😊

[@drefuelstudio4743]

My big question is can you clean off the sheet and put new Emulsion on it for a different design?

[@michaelanoggle8347]

Do you have links for the products used

[@tonyengland1974]

How many times can you use it

[@Mageikman]

Do you need a special printer for transparency paper

[@Cooking101WithMrRobert]

what is the right direction for the tansparency?

[@drogonsmommy]

I’m wondering too...is the ink up or down? You just said to lay it the right way but I don’t know which way is right, lol

[@bobslfcu773]

I tried an image on a t-shirt but didn't get all the detail, the image was not as complicated as yours. Do you have any suggestions on how to get more of the detail to come out? The stencil was taped to the shirt around all 4 sides. Thanx for the help. Where did you get the image of the dandelion?

[@kaosthedemigod8189]

Awesome video! (over a year later) can I use this with an airbrush? and would it need to be the specific emulsion paper mentioned in this video...

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Hey Kaos! Yeah I think you could use the these emulsion sheet for airbrush, but you might have to apply it a little thicker. Let me know if you try it. Thanks! Garrett TheNotSoDemiGod

[@towandagilley9984]

Is this material food safe? I'm wondering if I could use it for cookies stencils.

[@PLJ24]

I don’t have an inkjet printer. Is there a product I can buy for a laser printer

[@toniabarlow8752]

I have alot of plastic stencil and would lk to make my own is there a machine where I can place my plastic stencils in and copy over to a reusable self adhesive paper and beable to make my own... something like a scanner
