We just made the easiest reusable stencil ever and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up? Welcome back this week. We got viewer mail We got a lot of requests about doing a reusable stencil since we use stencils on everything Everything so we did a little bit of research and we found what we think is the easiest way to make a reusable stencil We ordered emulsion sheets from Easy Screen Print They came in this envelope and nothing fancy to show you yet And we're using printable transparencies that we ordered off of Amazon And so it's a pretty simple step Three step process I guess you're going to print on your printable transparency You're going to lay the emulsion sheet over it Put a glass top on it, take it out to the sunlight and expose it We'll go ahead and get started but we have to turn the lights down because these emulsion sheets are sensitive to light So we have a lot of lights shining on us right now We'll have to turn them down Yep Alright you want to hit those? Alright glass Glass Transparency Facing in the right direction This is hot secret sheets Haha Get it work fast You don't have to work that fast Get it work fast I love your dilly dally and I were there Okay Peel the shiny backing off My big gorillas You can discard that Shiny side down, lay it on top of the transparency Check And the direction side to put something black over top of black board And we'll be using this tray later so we're going to use the back of this tray And you can clip it to your glass if you'd like But I think we'll be fine I'll be steady Now we'll take it outside and expose it in direct sunlight for one minute Okay, we're in direct sunlight One minute Haha Alright Let's turn it to the left Alright now we put it in the water Now you just lay it right in the water The pan of water and let it soak for 15 minutes And let me show you this ghost image Mmm so ghosty I can see the reflection of the light Oh how do you see it 15 minutes later So you got a lot of cure in the direct sunlight For about 15 minutes Haha I'll wait it out Okay Haha Alright it's all dry Seems pretty rugged Now we're going to try to use it Yeah, we're going to put it on this nice chalkboard tray And you can put it on the tray And you can cut it out And you can put it on the tray But you can't see it And you can put it on the tray And you can't see it And you can't see it We've got it on this nice chalkboard tray. First, we're going to use multiple. We're going to show you how we can reuse it on multiple surfaces. We're going to make it reusable. That's brilliant, anyway. You can use any acrylic paint. This happens to be the speedball paint that we purchased. I'm going to just do this one again so I can put it tight. Maybe I should just tape that to the side. I'll hold it down before I do it. Are you using my kitchen spatula? I've just got all kitchen all the time. Why don't you just use this thing? Because we're going to get a lot on here, of course. Let's drag it across. He literally went and got that out of my kitchen cabinet. It's work. Let's drag it across now. Okay, yeah, drag it across. Let's just drag in the paint across the stencil. I'm going to put it back in here. Let's see if there's a bug on there. I don't know. We didn't bring anything to lay in, how did we? Oh, yeah. Let's keep it back up with this thing. That's why I got this thing. I'm going to put it back in here. Let's keep it off. Let's put it back in here. All right, we're going to peel it wet. That looks good. All right, the thing about what makes these stencils, these screen prints stencils so great is that the detail. So the detail on this, these little dandelions, which is why we chose this one, is so small that I'm not sure the cricket will actually cut. Oh, no way. This level of detail. So that's another great use of this thing is that if you have something that's really detailed, it will cut it or it will, I guess, expose and rinse off. So we'll have that detailed image. And then on top of that, if the cricket could cut it, the weeding alone will probably kill you. Now weeding will have taken longer than 15 minutes to soak in the water. True, true. All right, so project one complete. Now let's try it on a t-shirt now. Should I, oh, or this bag? I want to start small with a bag. All right. Hey, do you want to use the easy press to flatten that thing out nice and neat? Thank you. Thank you. All right. Good enough. All right, I'm just gonna scoop across. It's still on the easy press map. I need more ink. I want to lift it. Yeah. Oh, that came out good. Looks good. May have done, may have needed a little more ink at the bottom, but that's okay. You might want to show me. Let me do that. Oh, do that in. You gotta press it for a second. Set the ink. All right. I'll hold it up. Look at that detail. And then look at the butterfly. That's crazy. Just 10 seconds. All right. Good job, babe. Another good one. All right. That was it. That's a reusable stencil. Pretty durable. You flip-flop it around. We made two projects using the same stencil. Soft surface? Hard surface. They both came out the same. So they came out great. Okay. So they both came out the same. So they both came out the same. They both came out the same. So they both came out the same. So they came out great. What do you think of today's project? Leave us a comment down below and let us know. And what projects do you want to see? We love your feedback. They give us great ideas for new projects each week. Each week. What the hell is that? Don't take my thunder. That's weird.
