    I'm snowed in here in NJ and finally decided to start diying it.  So I'm screenprinting guest towels for our bathroom at the wedding.  I've screen printed other things - coasters and coctail napkins, oot bags, a tshirt for me and I've pretty much gotten the hang of it but this is the SIMPLEST project ever!  It must be the texture on the guest towels, but it's only taking one pass with the smallest squeegy to get these done.  They come in packs of 16 and I've done 3 packs so far.  Just killing time while they dry and then I'm off to do more...

    Hopefully, here's a couple of pics, one of the towels and one of the table covered with them!  Happy diying!

    thanks I orderd stuff from ezscreenprint.com and it was easy.  It's the same screen I used on the coasters and napkins but I put tape over the date and our names!

    Back to work, back to work!

    I like it!  I just checked the site.  Can you tell me which machine you specifically got?

    Those are wicked! We didn't get that much snow yesterday here, but that doesn't mean I can't craft!

    I bought the photez starter kit and then I had to get more refill sheets.  I like Versatex inks.

    Those look great! Are you using a yudu or just a screen?

    Thanks everyone, just a screen.  I considered a yudu before I started crafting but this was a lot cheaper.  and as for time getting snowed in is a BIG help!  (Although I wasn't feeling well and got a late start!)  School's closed again tomorrow so this project is going to be finished by then!  If only i could find my jump drive with my invites on it.... I'm So-So_so pissed that it's lost!  sorry, off topic!
