There are plenty of instructables on screen printing. They range from the modge podge method to full rigs, but there doesn't really seem to be anything in between.
These instructions are using the EZ screens. It cost more than the embroidery hoop, but not nearly as much as the printing presses. It is all pretty easy to do, the results are great, and the screens are reusable. I am doing to include prices (to the best of my abilities), and where to buy the materials.

I am not including the prices of everything, it seems silly to me to add in the price of things like the computer. Beside the item I will put the price in bold. Beside that I will put where to buy it, underlined.

$15 for every shirt after is a bargain in my opinion. What I like the mot is that you can use your imagination in your own designs.
