DRAW IT, CUT IT
In the center of your contact paper, draw some abstract shapes. You can draw
these freehand or cut out a shape you like on a scrap piece of paper and trace
that onto the contact paper. Cut out the inside of the shapes to create a
stencil. STICK IT
Place your screen flat on a hard surface. Peel apart the contact paper and
place the sticky side down on the inside of your screen. Use your pulling card
to smooth out any air bubbles. Bye-bye bubbles! PRINT IT
Secure your paper onto a flat surface with a piece of tape.
Place the screen on top of your paper, ensuring it is placed where you want
it. Use the palette knife to place a line of ink on your screen above your
stencil. Hold your pulling card at a 45° degree angle and pull firmly across
the screen, forcing the ink through the mesh onto your paper. Repeat this
process several times to ensure even coverage. Lift the screen to reveal your
printed design. Repeat this process with the same design on your other pieces
of paper for multiple prints . RINSE & REPEAT
Set your prints aside to dry while you clean and prepare your screen for your
next layer. Peel contact paper off the screen and gently rinse the screen with
water, mild soap, and a soft sponge. Pat dry or place standing up to allow for
a quicker drying process. Once the screen and the prints are dry, repeat this
process with other abstract shapes.
You can use the same stencil for multiple colors, but the colors will mix.
Change and wash the screen between each color if you don’t want any mixing.
