Silk screen stencil, removable paste ... give this easy DIY a try!

The image had washed off... so we fixed it up fancy with our DIY vinyl & silkscreen ink to create a long lasting sticker!

Supplies
Chalkology Ink
Iron, heat press or mini press
Stencil of choice
Permanent vinyl-- my preference Oracal 651
parchment paper
Your creativity

Grab your vinyl colour of choice. You can pre-cut a shape by hand or use your electronic cutting machine like a Cricut or Silhouette Cameo.  Or you can create your design and cut it out after-- a little fussy cutting (hand cutting close to the design) can create a unique look.

* Fuzz of your stencil (Tap it a few times on a towel to remove a little of the stickiness, we don't want to pull the vinyl off it's backer yet!). 
* Place your stencil as desired. 
* With your inks and create, create create.  Gently pull your inks across the design, remember no need for hard pressure.
*Gently remove your stencil. Wash the ink out of the stencil so you can re-use it. 
*Allow your ink to dry on the vinyl, you can speed this up by using a cool air fan/hair dryer.
*Using an a heat press at 300F or an iron (med heat),  heat set your inks by placing a piece of parchment between the design and your iron.  Press for 30 seconds -- just long enough to set your ink but not enough to melt the sticky off your vinyl!
*Stick your vinyl to the item of choice & admire your fabulous work!

Let's STICK on the creativity!
I'd love to see your designs.
