You can make a simple screen with recycled silk in an embroidery hoop, draw your design in pencil, fill around it with Mod Podge, and then ink it!

You can find some really great tutorials on how to silk screen in book and on you tube. You have to buy a silk screening kit from a art supply store and get fabric specific ink.

Silk screening requires a bit of special equipment to do successfully. The equipment will cost several thousand dollars to set up to do your own sil screening.

I use a website that sells you the shirts at low cost and then screens them before sending them to you. It's an easy way to costumize my own shirts without leaving my house.
