You will need:
- T-shirt
- Squeegee
- Fabric dye or paint
- Screen ready with design

- Secure the screen to the table somehow so it doesn't move around.
- Pour some ink at the top of the screen (away from you).
- With the squeegee slowly bring the ink across the image (dont put a lot of pressure) so is evenly inked.

- Once you have the design printed in the t-shirt let it dry under a lamp or sun.
