How do you screen an image onto fabric? Like for a tote bag?1 replies

Ive seen like DiY tote bags with like pictures of things such as the Joker on them. I wanted to make one, so I was wondering where and how I would do this and how much it would cost?
Thanks

   well there are several ways of doing it:

   1. getting a print maker – this involves using riso printing and transfering the image onto riso paper then framing it then using fabric dye to stencil the image onto the bag.
   this method is expensive and will be hard to do if you don’t have the equipment.

   2. using a iron on transfer – this method requires you to buy iron on transfer paper and printing your picture on to it then applying it to your bag and ironing on.
   this is simple, easy and affordable.

   3. make your own – i have made my own before using normal paint and paper in which i printed my image traced around it then filled in the blank spaces.
   cost me nothing.

   4. get it professionally done – pretty expensive.

   search in google for more help.
