How To Screen Print Using Your Cricut

[@CraftingWithAprilD]

This was BY FAAAAAAR the easiest, simplest way to do screen printing. Thank you so much for sharing

[@CraftyyTwist]

MzzAJD so glad to hear that! Have fun and get creative 💕

[@Get_Some_Nature]

Try Heat'n Bond Iron-On Vinyl and iron it on your screen fabric. It's totally water proof and you can get as many prints as you want off that fabric. Unstaple the fabric and just store the fabric flat. I use wood embroidery hoops instead of wood frames. No staples, easier screen changes. Organza fabric makes great screens.

[@kimramirez-saiseiapparel3992]

Hi Kelley, I was intrigued by what you suggested. What is your process to do this? In this video Stephanie is cutting her stencil out of vinyl, are you cutting the Heat'n Bond and then applying it to the screen?

[@LittleCherryHill]

What a fab idea! Thank you for kindly sharing!

[@xtiffmonsterx]

Does heat transfer vinyl work as well or just the heat’n bond iron on vinyl?

[@Get_Some_Nature]

@@xtiffmonsterx I only use Heat'n Bond Iron-On Vinyl.

[@Get_Some_Nature]

@@kimramirez-saiseiapparel3992 Yes

[@SheerStitchery]

It actually produces better results if you mirror the image and place it on the other side of the screen. You get a better adhesion of paint to your surface especially if you have very intricate designs.

[@raginVocals]

I’m sooo ecstatic that you’ve loaded this. My husband wants to screen print but I found it too daunting a task to take in!! Now I’m not afraid to give it a go ( and with so little cost/ risk involved)!!!!! Thanks a billion 🥰

[@junechristian6717]

Loved the info the music not so much

[@beverlyfarro7198]

Love the idea. I am new to screening. What kind of paint? Also heat press for how long & how do you maintain the shirt after . Or how do you wash it? Sorry but like I said I am so new to this.

[@CraftyyTwist]

Hello! I use Speedball ink. Once the ink is dry to touch I iron (Or heat press 305 for 15 seconds) the design. Wash the way you always wash. The ink holds up great in the wash. Since it's ink there's no peeling of the design.

[@laurenpatrick7725]

I mirror the image and place the vinyl on the back of the screen. Also, I use speedball ink on a mesh screen and it all washes out, so I can resuse the screen. I hope these tips help!

[@shamekaedwards8107]

Did you get the mesh from a fabric store? And is that what it is called in the store? Sorry if I sound dumb but I've never purchased it before.. And I'm very new to this. Thanks.

[@laurenpatrick7725]

Shameka Edwards It’s called a “speedball screen”. It can be purchased from hobby lobby or on amazon.

I can’t thank you enough for this tutorial!!! You did an amazing job explaining all of the steps! Heat transfer vinyl is so expensive. I’ve been trying to figure out a cheap way to screen print shirts. I don’t have the funds or the space to put equipment in. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@CraftyyTwist]

Anna Godfrey thank you so much! I hope it helps 💕 vinyl is definitely expensive and screen printing lasts forever!

[@gmartinez2309]

what are the measurements you use for the frame? is there a certain size you need to use?

[@2ATimothyHarper]

I noticed that there are multiple models of cricut and it is never specified which model to get for this task. Please comment on which cricut would be best for this application? my luck is I would purchase the cricket and it would not be compatible with this task. I want to get it for my wife.

[@CraftyyTwist]

Hello! This can be done with any model. This one was the Cricut explore one which is really old. Depending on what your wife likes to do would be which one you would get. You can do a lot with the cricut explore air 2 but if she wants to cut wood, engrave, cut fabric and more items like that then I would recommend the Cricut maker which is the latest one I got and I absolutely love it. It all depends on what she’s looking to make with her Cricut.

[@susanhintz5591]

How do you determine what size screen you need and where to place the screen on the shirt?

[@erika213]

Do you have to re do the frame with different fabric every time you do a new design??

[@CraftyyTwist]

Erika nope! Just remove the vinyl and wash the screen after each print.

[@MazaherKassam]

So you removed the Vinyl that was used as a stencil, so after washing the ink how do you use the screen for next printing? what guides the design since there wont be any stencil (vinyl) to guide

[@lindaharding5783]

You make a new design, cut a new stencil, and apply it to the washed screen. Don't worry about the old image left on the screen. The ink has dyed the screen, but the holes (mesh) should be clear if it has been washed thoroughly.

[@charlieadams5320]

Can you leave the vinyl on while you rinse with cold water if you don’t want to use new vinyl every time?

[@lindaharding5783]

@@charlieadams5320 Yes, you can.

[@thomasenamccray981]

I didn't read to the end but......how do you clean the ink off the screen completely? I'm asking because I noticed after you sprayed it with the water you could still see the words. Can you use regular household chemicals to clean?

[@nicholasherbst9821]

What kind of vinyle were you using?

[@lindamclaughlin5546]

I have a Scan & Cut 350. I'm guessing I can use that to cut the stencil? I've made one stencil that I used to paint my mail box & it worked pretty well. Unfortunately, the paint has not held up well with all the traffic & weather. Any suggestions for a paint to use for that application? Maybe I needed to put some kind of undercoat on the plastic mail box. It was my very first project, but I'd like to redo it & make it last better.

[@CraftyyTwist]

Linda McLaughlin I would use Oracle 651 or 751 for the mailbox. It’s vinyl so no need to paint it and it’s made for outdoor use. It’s used for signs. If you wanted to paint it maybe spray a clear coat sealer over the paint to preserve it better? I’m not too sure about out door paint.

[@lindamclaughlin5546]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.@@CraftyyTwist

[@dreamkiss4u]

you forgot to heat set it and make it permanent as well.

[@msgonzalez535]

How long does the paint last?

[@KniteRiter1]

I have been afraid to try this but you made it look easy! Thank you 😉 I have two questions 1-how do you keep the shirt from moving? 2-does the ink soak through to the back of the shirt?

[@SpiderF27]

1)The shirt doesn't move because it's pressed down by the frame. 2) You insert a cardboard or a plastic sheet inside the shirt. It make sense to you? Of course there are more sophisticated methods to do it. For example for repeated uses you can fix hinges to the frame, one wire spring to bounce back and so on, but this example it's simple, quick and easy to follow.

[@corderamathews]

when you put your vinyl in your circuit did you go shinny side down or up??

[@CraftyyTwist]

Cordera Mathews if it’s vinyl you put the paper backing down but if it’s heat transfer vinyl you put the shiny side down and MIRROR your design. Then you’ll iron it onto your screen and remove the clear backing.

[@jokikem1]

Now that you took the vinyl off, you can just use the screen print? I noticed you use the Oracle vinyl for inside/outside is that because it's more durable

[@CraftyyTwist]

jokikem1 when you take it off you can make another design and use the screen again. If you need something more permanent you can use heat transfer vinyl. But you can’t reuse the screen after that. You’d have to make a new one.

[@crotnem]

I have a sugar skull I want to print, but I can only get the image to cut the whole design, I want to have the inside white and the rest green. any help would be appreciated.

[@geelindsey4559]

What if I have one design with multiple colors , how do I complete that process using your technique?

[@trishawagner2785]

i think you would need multiple screens with the different layers of your design.

[@geelindsey4559]

Trisha Wagner - Okay, thank you.

[@CraftyyTwist]

I usually do one screen for the first color and change the design on that same screen after for each other color while the first color dries.

[@ashton8878]

I don’t think you need multiple screens. I can use one screen. Mask off/tape off areas of different colors. I hope this helps!

[@Blkbeautee]

This seems easy. The Cricut can make a design and steam it on with the Easy press. Is there a difference?

[@CraftyyTwist]

[@CraftyyTwist]

JayR V. If you use siser easy weed it’ll last longer. I use that when I’m doing multiple shirts of the same design. Oracle 651 will hold up for fewer shirts.

[@melissavernon1318]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I've been searching on one for the cricut and you helped out so much. I'm new to all this. Any idea how many shirts you can do from one screen design? also would love to know how to keep the paint good on the shirts for a lot of washes. Thank You

[@CraftyyTwist]

I reuse my screens a lot. As long as you keep it tight and clean you can keep using it. I use the same screen for months. As long as you cure the ink it won’t wash off. I heat press it on 305 for 15 seconds. If you don’t have a heat press I use my hair dryer to dry the ink and then throw it in the clothes dryer with high heat and that’ll set it too. :)

[@lindaharding5783]

I have made well over 100 shirts from the same screen. I use a fixative in my ink, so I don't have to take the time drying each one separately. It takes a few days to dry thoroughly.

[@linross246]

Can you use regular paint to screen print onto a wood sign?

[@CraftyyTwist]

linross246 I’m not sure if that would work. I think it’ll make the design bleed but you can definitely put the vinyl on the wood and push the ink through that and peel off the vinyl.

[@irascher]

What if it's a photograph? photo of a person, is it possible?

[@loettawilliams3023]

Can you reuse the screen for a different picture, or will I have to get another screen for another pic?

[@CraftyyTwist]

Loetta Williams you can reuse the screens as long as you wash the ink right off after you’re done using it. Also always make sure your screen is tight. After some years it’ll loosen up a little and you can just pull it and staple again and you’ll be good to go!

can you keep the design to use at a later time? I do vinyl shirts now but am looking into screen printing. I have a logo I do often and wanted to see if I can use it now and then maybe a month later. Is this possible or would I have to remake the stencil the next time I use it?

[@lindaharding5783]

I have kept a logo on one of my screens for years. I clean it good after every use using grease lighting, then set it aside with the vinyl still on the screen. I have many screens all made up and ready to go. Also, I have printed well over 100 shirts using one new screen all at one time. I don't have any idea how many shirts I have printed using my old screens. I volunteer for a non profit and have made hundreds of t-shirts in the last ten years, all using this method.

Do you have to use transfer paper since you are not mirroring the design, all you would have to do is peel back the paper from the Oracle 651?

I'd hate to invest in 100 feet then find it doesn't work & have to buy something else. I want to transfer art work or photos of my dogs. Still trying to figure out a less messy & more cost effective way. Just as a Hobby.

[@abbyvestal7761]

If you plan to make that shirt multiple times do you have to wash it? Or do you have to make a new screen for every shirt you're making?

[@CraftyyTwist]

No, you can keep using the same screen for multiple shirts. I’ve made 65 using the same screen. Just make sure to work quickly so you don’t give the screen time to dry with ink on it. And then when you’re done you can wash the screen and use it for another design.

[@marymiller1108]

I'm curious why you would need the transfer tape? Could you not just put the vinyl down without it? Anyone?

Ok heres where i get confused. If i use my cutting machine for stencil... do i ever need to do sublimination/emosion to my screen?

[@lindamclaughlin5546]

Do you mean like putting a photo emulsion on the screen? I'm Very new to this and am trying to find something to easily make screens that is not as messy as the emulsion process I've seen described elsewhere. I don't think this process uses emulsion but just the vinyl transfer. The only part that needed washing was the water based ink used to print the shirt. That washes off the stencil with cold water so the stencil can be reused. To make the ink permanent on the shirt, the design needs to be heat set with a regular clothes iron set at the temp right for the shirt fabric, for about 5 minutes or so. After that, only wash the shirt in cold water, so I'm told from other sites. In the few times I've printed shirts, I've used a teflon crafting sheet to cover my ink on the shirt, as I ironed it, so the ink would not come off on the iron. Hope this helps.

Sorry autocorrect “clear sticky part”

[@briaburris5159]

Guess what I didn’t understand was how once you started weeding I didn’t see the green mat 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@CraftyyTwist]

651 doesn’t have a clear backing so it shouldn’t be sticky. If it’s sticky it’s HTV you can still use that but it’s a different process. 651 comes on a white paper so when you peel off the 651 (should be sticky) behind it will be a white paper. It’s like a sticker on a sticker sheet if that makes more sense.

[@plips71755]

Using chiffon fabric and picture frames may not be the best. Note she didn’t state what mesh size. You need to know how much detail you are doing, the ink you are using ( should be thick and creamy) - the mesh size/count will determine the detail you retain. Proper screen printing frame with cords allows you to tightened the screen. The screen is monofilament polyester mostly these days though some still use silk. Here is an article on selecting mesh size: www.screenprintingsupply.com/Selecting-Proper-Mesh-Count-in-Screen-Printing_b_5.html I would buy my screen mesh fabric from a screen printing supply store. You can make your own frame - plenty of videos to show you how or you can buy pre stretched screen mesh frames with it properly stretched that won’t give, stretch, droop, etc.

[@TheRealRealHousewife]

I don’t understand what the screen does why cant the stencil go directly on the shirt then just stencil it with a brush

[@CraftyyTwist]

The Real Real Housewife I’m sure that could work, screen printing is more for multiple shirts at a time.

[@maga_q_anon8384]

If you put the vinyl stencil on the shirt and fill it in with a brush you will have glob spots on the sides. When you go to pull the stencil off you will have the chance of the ink smearing or leaving string lines of ink. When you use a screen it puts an even layer of ink.

[@moosedawg71]

Why don't you remove all those old staples? They're not hard to remove with a pair of pliers.

Should have mirrored it and put it on the bottom of the screen .

seemed to work just fine in video and one less step of not having to mirror the image

I absolutely hate videos that I have to read! Please don't do these

[@sherrybenton5754]

its a free tutorial and well seems you can please everyone- you have a pause button to read the info

[@sherirae3658]

Then dont watch it and figure it out yourself. Omg what is wrong with people. Ungrateful and just enjoy putting stupid comments on.

[@angelalarson5916]

I completely disagree. I like to read the instructions. For me, the extra talking is distracting. And, if you are in a situation where you can't turn up the volume, you can still get the gist of the tutorial.

totally could have skipped or fast forwarded through the stapling....it was a little like nails on chalk board watching you....

[@cleanfasteasysafe]

and also fast forwarded through the cricut cutting part

[@CraftyyTwist]

Thank you for the feedback. This was my first video and I’m not good at editing yet. Just wanted to show my technique.

[@carolynmcdowall3657]

well im glad you showed the WHOLE process, thank you, Krista you are not very kind IMHO

[@LADeValk]

You did great for a first video! People can fast forward through the parts they don't need.

[@crumbiea6056]

This was my first video I’ve watched of doing this. So I’m glad she did the whole process especially the stapling.

My adventure with woodworking started with woodglut plans.
