    Screen printing at home

    There are so many business opportunities out there on the net, some are good, and of course some are just totally no good at all, as you are probably aware of already.
    Screenprinting

    However despite all of that, occasionally there comes along something that can be really useful and can be used as a business opportunity, one such case is the DIY screen printing lessons by Curbly, a DIY design community.

    They offer a variety of different ways of learning from using videos on You Tube, complete step by step guides with text and images, and by just reading the information on the website, for any budding designer learning this skill set can be a invaluable resource in the quest to starting your home business.

    Screen printing is the basic way of building up a graphics design business, this skill will mean that you can produce designs onto fabric and paper, which may be a promotional line for a client, a new clothing range or maybe you just wish to promote your own business by giving away cheap t-shirts with your logo, slogan or business name printed upon it, imagine how much you could save there!

    Naturally there are some items that you will need to get started, these are:

    - Embroidery hoop (as big as you want your image to be)
    - Mod podge; water resistant glue
    - Thinly woven mess fabric
    - Fabric ink
    - Computer and printer
    - Pencil
    - Iron
    - Old paint brush

    As you can it does not take much to get started.
