"Hello, this is Mark, on behalf of Expert Village. And in this clip I'm going to show you what a screen is for screen printing, and how to make it. This is the screen I've been using for screen printing for a long time. I made it myself. You just have to go to the hardware store. Buy some wood and screw it together at the corners. And then you need to go online, most likely in order to order the screen material. So, its a very specific type of material used for screen printing. Next you take the screen, cut it out larger than the frame. And begin to stretch it like a canvas. Start stapling it here, stretch it around, staple it here. Then do the same on this side. And then work your way out to the corners. And fold them in nicely. And then, after that is done, you need to varnish where the wood is touching the screen. And just over the edge, just over the edge. You don't want to go too far over onto the screen, because it will end up blocking your design in the end. You can go online and buy a screen if you don't have the time, or don't want to build it yourself. But its pretty easy. And that is how you make a screen or buy a screen for screen printing. "
