Slide the large piece of cardboard inside your tee shirt (or under your surface) to make sure no ink seeps through the first layer. This also provides a stable workspace to press down on. Carefully position your screen onto your surface, which should be flat and free of creases or wrinkles.
Using the spoon and/or paintbrush, coat the surface area with paint. The screen printing method relies on an even pressure wiping effect; this is where you drag the paint across the surface with the small piece of cardboard. Apply even pressure and continue to delicately spread the paint in all directions using the "squeegee." Make sure that the paint is distributed evenly without any bubbles or pockets of paint, this will yield an even print.
