What Do You Need to Screen Print Shirts at Home? | Screen Printing with Cricut

⬇⬇ Tap for INFO & LINKS ⬇⬇

One of the most common questions I get from screen printing beginners is "what do you need to screen print shirts at home?" So in this video I'm showing you all my screen printing must haves whenever I screen print with my Cricut. Speedball screen printing kits can be really helpful when getting started with screen printing, but I have learned that I prefer a lot of supplies that is not available in most kits. Stick around until the end of this video for all my bonus supplies that are not required for screen printing crafts, but I have found them very helpful. You'll see me use all of the supplies in my various screen printing tutorials.

I also want to clarify that screen printing with vinyl uses water based screen printing ink. Plastisol screen printing is very different, and it's not something that I will cover in this video.
