Instructions in 4 steps The gold and silver colour gradient of the leaves can be easily achieved on your cotton bag with the screen printing stencil.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Cardboard or thick paper Water for washing out, Household sponge

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Pre-wash the cotton bag without fabric softener and flatten it by ironing before you start stencilling. Put a cardboard or a thick paper into the already prepared bag and you can get started.

Step 2

Remove the stencil from the carrier sheet and place it on the bag and press it slightly on. Now turn the bag with the handles 90° to the left side.

Step 3

Apply the first shaken out metallic fabric dye (brill.gold) onto the right half of the stencil above the leaf motif. On the left half, proceed in the same way with the silver metallic fabric dye. Hold the stencil upwards with one hand. Drag the paints separately by means of the squeegee at a 45°-angle with slight downward pressure. In the middle, while dragging the paint with squeegee, a nice colour gradient is created by mixing the both colours together. Repeat the colour application until the motif is completely stencilled.

Step 4

After stencilling, remove the stencil carefully and laterally flat, and clean it immediately with the cleaner (38 024 000) and water using a household sponge.
