Edit Article Edited by Kyle G., Jack Herrick, Krystle, Versageek and 21 others Woodcarving is a time tested hobby that is both relaxing and fun.

You can learn the skill without buying a whole set; all you really need to get started is a utility knife and a few other supplies.

Alright, I've finally had the time to "screen print" another shirt, so here's the tutorial... Materials needed: a t-shirt, yucky/cheap paint brushes, an embroidery hoop, screen printing ink (I use Speedball brand), a glue that isn't water-soluble (I use Mod Podge), curtain sheer material/tulle/old nylons, and a computer with a printer (or a good hand for drawing things). Find an image you like and that has good contrast. My cow needed to be "cut out," and I've only got Microsoft Paint on this computer and it worked fine. Save the image as a Monochrome Bitmap file and it will turn it black and white.
If this loses all the detail, fudge around on Paint or try a different picture, haha. Print it out so the image is the size you want it on the t-shirt (and also so it's not bigger than the embroidery hoop you spent ¢67 on). You should be able to see the pencil outline easily without squinting too hard. I hope that helps some! What paint? My printed image looks pixelated and rough; help! Maybe. -----:[ : Sources for Royalty-Free Images : ]:----- Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena. [Seb] Sebastien Chevrel | Showcase.
