Weddingbee boards
Well, I just found out my FSIL has one that she's never ever used and I think we're going to use it to make bridal party t-shirts. That way we can wear them at the rehearsal dinner.
We screen printed tote bags for wedding favors and our table runners for the reception.
The tote bags are screen printed with trees and tied up with a piece of twine so they sat on the table like a tree - sorry, that's the best pic I can find right now.
The table runners I sewed from burlap and DH screen printed our monogram on.
@VagabondGurl: Those table runners are great! Did you print them on burlap? What screen did you use?
dishtowels, bags for your BM, ties, hankies, table runners, curtains for behind your cake, tshirts for getting ready...
stocking for christmas, holiday table cloth...
I didn't even know what one of these was... it looks like an awesome tool! Where do you get one and how much do they cost? Also how complicated was it to make those runners? I am crafy but not super crafty...
Hey Everyone,
I thought I would update this thread. I attempted to use it for my cousins birthday party invites, but it didn't go over so well. I seems like the ink was very thick, and it did not go through the screen well. The edges were not crisp like they were on the screen. Anyone have any pointers?
@YellowBee3: I actually got mine at a thrift store. It had never been used, and was still in the packaging. They paid $500 for everything they bought, but I got it for $200 for everything. I think I got a pretty good deal!
@ehsquared: sorry... am not on here often anymore. my DH is actually a screen printer by trade, so he printed them at his shop, not on a yudu.
i've never actually worked with a yudu (but will admit to being smitten by their late night infomercial), however it looks to be the same process.
as far as your thick ink on your invite attempt... you probably just need some thinner. i would go to an art supply store (like a Blick Art) and speak with someone there (as opposed to a craft store where they sell the yudu, because crafters aren't likely to know how much thinner and what kind to use). bring a bottle of the yudu paint with you, so they know what the base material is.
the other thing to keep in mind is it takes very, very little ink to actually squeegee across the screen to print the image through the screen... and a lot of pressure. so perhaps try it again, less ink - more brute force!
good luck and have fun!
@VagabondGurl: Thank you so much for all the tips, I will definitely be trying them out. It will be probably after Christmas though, because this time of year gets just crazy. I will let you know how it works out.

Hi Ladies,
I have just recently purchased a YUDU, but I have no clue what I should use it for. I have thought about using it for our invitations, but that seems like a lot of work. Anyone have any ideas?
