Another interesting idea how to make textile print by yourself. Enjoy!
So the materials you need are piece of cloth for the sieve (tulle or nylon but never silk), frame, decoupage glue, textile paint, paint brushes and window rubber squeegee.
First of all you have to prepare the sieve, so...
Step 1 Place the cloth on the table. Then place the frame over the cloth in the center. The frame shall be a little bigger than the selected design. Pull the end of the fabric to the edge of the frame and put a decoupage clue on it. Wait 10 minutes to dry well. Stretch well the fabric by pulling the opposite end and stick it to the edge with decoupage glue. Similarly, attach the other two sides of the cloth. When the glue is dry, trim excess fabric.
Step 2 Choose the design you are going to use. Place the print on the table, then place the sieve over the paper so the textile is on top of the paper. Draw the design onto the fabric with soft pencil but be careful not to harm the cloth.
Step 3 Turn the frame with face up. Use a brush to apply decoupage glue on those places you don't want to be shown. Allow the glue to dry. Then check for little holes through which paint could pass.
Step 4 Place the tissue you would lke to decorate and iron it well. Afterwards put the sieve with face down. Pour some paint on the side of the fabric design.
Step 5 Use window rubber squeegee to even spread the paint. When you are ready lift the sieve and let the paint dry. Wash the sieve only with water (no needed brush or soap) and you can use it again.
