This summer as part of our Summer of Shirts, we did a very low-tech version of screen printing, which turned out to be incredibly popular. So I was excited to learn that the Silhouette Cameo can be used to do a more traditional type of screenprinting. It works really well and I HIGHLY recommend it. After being pretty decent with my Silhouette Cameo, it only took me about an hour to make my stencil and screenprint my t-shirt. And since many of the supplies can be re-used for multiple projects, the cost per project is basically under $20.00, though your initial investment will be slightly higher (assuming that you already have the Silhouette Cameo of course).
Supplies:
- Silhouette Cameo and PC/Laptop
- Weeding tool
- Piece of 651 Permanent Vinyl
- Scissors
- Clear contact paper (to be used as transfer tape)
- A wedge to be used with the transfer…
