Screen Printed Wrapping Paper Using Screen Filler

Draw the image on a piece of paper.

Using a disappearing pen or pencil, trace the image onto the screen.

Raise the edges of the screen away from the table by placing a wedge, such as a coin, under each corner. Using a fine brush, paint the screen filler around the outlines.

Fill in the rest of the image with screen filler. Leave to dry fully. When dry hold the screen up to a light any areas that you can see through will print. Paint extra screen filler onto the mesh where needed.

Tape up the edges of the screen with parcel tape.

Using a water-based screen printing ink, flood the screen and then print the image onto brown kraft paper. Repeat as necessary being careful not to place the screen onto wet ink.
