How To Make Reusable Stencils With Photo Emulsion Sheets

[@rickmelcher6845]

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...

[@whosyourdaddy4579]

We call that UV damage in the derm business.

[@AmbutuMalone]

So I don't have to weed?!!!! My mind is blown away! Forever grateful!

[@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??

[@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 ?

@Charles Castiel Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it!

[@charlescastiel3582]

@Axton Michael no problem :)

[@jeffruffing2316]

You guys are an inspiration to all. I really LOVE your videos. At first, Garrett was a bit much, but, I’ve grown to just LOVE that guy, he’s hysterical! Keep up the GREAT work

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

I’m glad you’re on board now! 🥰

[@Effortlesslyeclectic]

OMG you two are friggin' adorable! Haha! I can't wait to try this!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Please do!

[@marewaltwms1]

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

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Aw thank youuuu!!

[@phyllisw3123]

Much better than trying to cut one on a cricket! Multi use as well!!!

[@adriennecoutts1099]

I see Kim is a Pampered Chef lover like I am. LOL. Great video for real people to use!

[@violetlight8138]

Love it! Beautiful detail and print!

[@beverlykotak6686]

love ez screen print products so easy to use

[@jeanniestevens7271]

You two are the best, love your videos. I’m in Nova Scotia, hoping my Amazon store carries these products.

[@mrsm5481]

Wow! Great tip. Never would have thought of that. Thanks.

[@JudyRoediger-o1k]

Thank you so much. You made this look easy.

[@roadeolady]

Those are awesome. So easy.

[@melinafrazier]

Omg he did not just use pampered chef! Thank you for this video I have looked forever for a tutorial with no machine. ☺️ Thank you

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Ha! Right?!! :) thanks Melina!

[@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.

[@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?

[@lauriebonfanti3018]

Love this💕💜 You two are adorable!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

You are so kind!

[@shirleychmiel7974]

This is Awesome! Love the tote bag.

[@FabulouslyJih]

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

[@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!!!!!!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks Jess! It's so easy! You gotta try it! And yes, eeek 11k!

[@chrispsr63]

Awesome tutorial. I just bought a screen print kit today, level 1. I am always interested in watching videos like this, to help give me ideas of ways to get things done.

[@monicabrouk1629]

You guys are so incredibly adorable! Thank you for this video this helped a lot.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thank you Monica! :)

Thanks for watching!

[@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? 🤷‍♀️

[@islandgirlsigns842]

Love what you two do...Great projects...

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks so much!

[@patriciavanderpool3370]

You made it so fun to watch this video! Learned a lot - thank you!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Glad it was helpful!

[@secondhandtofu]

Y'all are incredible!

[@gfhuerta]

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

[@shaunsanders9673]

Thanks guys! Simple is always good, for me at least ;).

[@PENFOLD1962]

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

[@liwhite484]

Spatula... love you guys!

[@mariejacobs6756]

I love the bag!! Great job both of you!!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks Marie!

[@thekissofthegoddess]

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

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Shelm4382]

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

[@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.

[@johogan4546]

Love love love! Thank you for this info!

[@tnh4235]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@mszoomy]

That's awesome. I might try that

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

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

[@HMcdon]

Very good guys!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks!!!

[@gustavotobon7042]

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

[@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

[@debm7101]

Wow great job

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks so much!

[@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

[@ceciliaruiz5434]

You guys are too funny! 💙

[@tiffannystipe9626]

I just love u guys!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks!

[@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!!!

[@DoctorColg8]

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

[@stonekoyote1]

Perfect. Thanks

[@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!

[@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?

[@dorothyrose9262]

Love these projects!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks for watching Dorothy!

[@vbrown5943]

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

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Great to hear!

[@claricesteg86]

Can you do a video on how you guys clean the screens?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Oh we should!

[@cecylemus912]

You are such a great couple ❤️

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

So sweet thank you!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@jaimejereb5271]

Great video and thanks for the content! This may sound like a stupid question but I'm wondering how the paint is transferring through if there's not a cut being made like on the Cricut. I'm looking to make reusable stencils for screen printing for shirts. Thanks for your help!

[@karemelia]

I have exactly the same question. Glad I'm not the only one.

[@ES-hr8yx]

Yup I have the same question. How come not many are asking

[@drogonsmommy]

I want to know too! Are there actually cuts that have been burned into the material that the paint is getting through? I’m assuming yes but they aren’t shown

[@beatrizaguillon1596]

I think I heard them say it was “mesh”. So if that’s the case it has a screen 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Pixxelina]

They are using an emulsion sheet. The black ink (on the transparent film they printed the dandelions on) will make the emulsion wash out after being exposed to sun or UV light basically, leaving clean cutouts wherever the ink touched the emulsion. Think of it like acid, it’ll eat through wherever the ink is.

[@janisward5361]

So much fun, thank you

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Our pleasure!

[@cindyb3028]

Cool project. Too much work for me but enjoyed watching you guys do it. Garrett, the bag looks great on you😝

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Lol, but it was so easy! Yes. I thought the bag shot was funny too :)

[@lorimenie3869]

Thanks for sharing.

[@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.

[@GailWhimsy]

Awesome!

[@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

[@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?

[@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

[@bigshoe1835]

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

[@kimmiesrhythms]

Awesome!!

[@Candice-bn3pv]

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

[@okayleb1]

Thank you for this! Is it possible to cut the emulsion sheet and clear sheet? I want to screenprint onto something smaller

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Hi Caleb! Yes, you can easily cut both smaller.

[@okayleb1]

@@KimandGarrettmakeit Thanks so much for the reply!

[@gloriagiefer3013]

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

[@lalanirhythmchanter5566]

Howdy ty for video love the design alot..im researching alot..do u know if we can reclaim these emulsion sheets like normal box screens using the cleaner and degreaser or if u just have to buy a new one? Theyre 10 bucks each for 8 by 11 so it would be nice. Perhaps i cant find anything about this w ezscreen due to possibly ruining it by doing so. It does say keep in fridge or at least 68 degrees when not used and lasts 6 months so perhaps not? Still I think id rather not use harsh Chen's. Eco factors using fabric paint or acrylic based other seems healthier overall. Ty

[@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

[@mariaagrenier6263]

Thank you 👍

[@shanadelight2592]

I just started watching you guys a couple days ago and you two are ADORABLE!!! I haven't gotten through all the videos yet, but I would love to see a video on how to make a round wood door welcome sign & some sublimation projects! I think I watched one that you did mentioned sublimation?!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thank you so much!! We'll consider it, we've moved away from sublimation a little though

[@kimzacharias9940]

What is sublimination?

[@valleejones]

Thanks

[@carolestrong7095]

That was so cool! im a 1st time watcher, i loved it! but how do you get the design on that transparency sheet?

[@DoctorColg8]

Most printers will work. Just use the tranperancy film as you would loaded into the paper tray.

[@shannonimlay1068]

Will this work with laser printers?

[@DoctorColg8]

Select the transparency film for your specific printer. Most will say Ink Jet transparency film. Maybe laser

[@melaniehoyle5483]

Can't find this stuff anywhere in the UK where it's produced in the UK. It's all imported and thus incredibly expensive!

[@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.

[@D.Upchurch100]

Could I use a black and white photo for this?

[@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

[@verumsky]

I do spray painting. Would that end up sticking to my paint or is there an adhesive on it where it'll just peel off no problem?

[@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?

[@theegoldenrose]

How do you guys wash it & what did u use to set the print in the bag so it didn’t smear???
