Great energy from these videos.. big impact on helping people with dreams to create their own clothing. Takes a real one to want to share and keep it 100
Much love, really appreciate it. Just looking to share my journey and knowledge with the world

Yoo that's some genuine effort to help people start screen printing..thank you soo much for your effort brema
Of course, glad I could help 🤍🙏🏾
I'm not interested in screen printing but Brema's voice is so chill and his videos are so vibey.
Awe! Thank you, not the biggest fan of my voice but this might’ve change that 🤍🙏🏾
@@Brema__Brema Very nice chill voice bruh, asmr vibes almost 🤣 Keep up the good work chief!
of all of the things i have been told about screen printing and getting started, not one person has mentioned i can just draw on the transparent paper. makes a world of difference for me. thank you!
The medium you use has to be opaque.
So glad I found your channel! I’m trying to start my own brand and this was just what I needed! Your energy and brand are sick and I can’t wait to see more !!
This video has by far surpassed any other video I have watched on TH-cam. I understand so much more now than before. Thank You so much for making this understandable to the layman. I wish you great success!
Your tropical interior with those plants make the watching experience relaxing.
Thank god for people like you and TH-cam. This is exactly what I needed to watch. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your process! I can't express how helpful this straightforward video was after so much research lol Also love your work, it's like walking art and of course your channel! I can't wait to do my own prints soon!
Thank you for showing this. It is very interesting to know how to do it without a cricut or vinyl. It was very interesting to see how you get the designs on the screen and how they are burnt on. Thank you so much!
This is the best DIY video on screen printing I’ve seen. Straight to the point and simply explained. No ranting or using equipment that the average person couldn’t afford. THANK YOU
this was one of the most informative and easy-to-follow tutorials ever. Thank you so much for recorded truly every step. Most videos I have seen on this topic usually cut out the process and only explain what they do but this way is so much more helpful. Thank you!!
this is an amazing video! love the energy and how thorough you are not only to explain step by step but the reason behind it. thank you!
Hands down the best beginner friendly video I have seen so far! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this for us
Thank you very much!! Out of all the videos I watched on this subject… you are the best!! No half hour speech on screen printing before actual showing. You were right down to it. easy steps shown ,slow paced, cheaper tools , different methods!! Keep up the good work!!! And Thank you again!!
Thank you so much, this video makes screen printing seem less daunting. Also your calm nature helps as well!
El hecho de que el te explica literalmente paso por paso me encantaaaa, chico tu explicas como nadie mas lo hace, das los consejos y lo transparencia de tu marca, te agradezco demasiado por enseñarme todo el proceso bien explicado en este video
Thanks so much for these videos. If it wasn't for folks on youtube doing tutorials like this I would have never started learning the craft. It takes some time to get started but screen printing at home or on your own is totally doable. And thank you for focussing on DIY low cost stuff too. Some of the videos out there are less helpful for those of us that don't already have our own shop.
Best diy beginner status video on screen printing Ive ever seen! Props to you for making this so easy to follow and enjoyable to watch!
this is the best tutorial ever. I followed other tutorials but they just left me with a big mess and wasted materials. This video was just what I needed! thank you!
Thanks so much for this. I was trying to learn how to screen print a couple months back for something and couldn't seem to find a single simple video explaining what to do so ended up lino block printing, which was alright, but I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video because now I understand the basics, whereas it was so confusing before
EDIT: seems like so many people were having the same issue!
✨I’ve been binge watching all of your content! Love the transparency, love the passion, truly appreciate you making these. I can’t wait to send you the first shirt I print from my brand because you’ve been so much help with the screen printing tips and videos. I just got me a 1 of 1 Rebirth Tee 😁 can’t wait to get a fit off in it!💕
Thank you so much, truly appreciate that and can’t wait to see what you print
Dear please write the name of items/ingredients and their amount. In English. Thanks.
best video I've watched on screen printing you didn't over explain. kept it simple and have point for point ideal on how simple it can be
Wooow. Thank you. I love the simplicity
i started my own clothing brand and have had to dropship through a different company because i never had help explaining how to screen print/use a heat press and this just gave me the opportunity to stop using a middle man and do everything myself, thank you so much bro, your effort/transparency with the process has helped so much
Bredrin thank you SO MUCH for this. Your videos are dope & to the point. You seem like a genuine person & we know how rare that is. Keep doing you, thanks again for the inspiration.
I was taught how to screen print in school last year but I totally forgot the proper steps. Your video was super instructive and it helped me out a bunch! I was printing a couple t-shirts and they came out way too light and I realized after watching your videos that I forgot to flood. Thank you!
This an amazing video and thank you so much for putting in the time to explain as much as you did. I had problems with trying this, over and over again, but YOU showed me where I was making my mistakes.... a lot of mistakes. Thank you so much for your help.
I appreciate you making this so much! Thank you for explaining everything in an easy to understand way. ♥️ “Screen print my own shirts” has been on my physical copy of my life bucket list since about 2007, no joke. Thanks to you I’m going to give it a try finally this year.
I get really nice calm vibes from you. It feels very chill and like you take your time. I JUST got a "testing kit" from this subscription place and I kinda loved the first print even thought I messed up. It turned out pretty nice. Now I kind of want to try it but it seems a litte daunting to start. I will follow to learn more :D
No BS just straight out trying to help us. Much appreciated
Love the video. I watch another one for beginners b4 this and the dude made it wayy more complicated and actually discouraged me a bit to not try it. Then i clicked on yours and the way you're showing step by step is awesome. I love that you showed us both ways & plan to try them both
Thanks for making this so accessible. Lots of other videos make this pretty intimidating, but this actually makes me want to try it.
I'm not after perfection and am under no illusion I can be an expert in a rush. But getting a taste for this without having to spend a fortune is an encouraging thought.
Very clear, easy to follow intro, unlike some videos I've seen on TH-cam. Thank you so very much, your guide is very helpful. Wishing you every success with Unfinished Legacy.💜
Most definitely greatful Brema and love your work too, thank you very much for sharing your experience 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿🙏🏿
I never write videos other than music videos because I don’t have any playlists, but I had to like just out of the genuine vibe I got from your smile in the beginning. Haven’t even watched the video yet.
What a wonderful person sharing your knowledge, thank you very much.
Thank you for posting this, been looking to get into screen printing and came across your page. Your work is amazing 🤙🏾
such a great tutorial, amazingly explained. love the vibe too. thank you so much brema and wishing you all the success :)
That was great. It really demystified the process and made it seem accessible to me do actually do it. Thanks for putting in the effort to show us how it's done.
i’ve watched so many tutorial videos and this is the only one that actually helped me, thanks brother
I’m trying to get started in screen printing and these have been a huge help!
Glad I can help out in your journey, don’t hesitate if you have any questions
@@Brema__Brema im 100% gonna take you up on that! what’s the best way to contact you?
@@treymontoya3 Damn

I found your channel through your Adult Swim tiktok, and I love your designs so much ♥️
Thank you for this Brema,,I’m starting my own journey with screen printing and ur videos help me a lot through this process!!
Bro I cannot thank you enough for this video. It's going to cost me way less than I initially thought to get my prints going.
You can use clamps to secure your screen to the table next time. It may not be cost efficient but it’s secure. Great video by the way!
Needed this!!! Thank You BREMA
Of course, Much love for tuning in
this is the most friendly, warm and authentic made video about screen printing, I've seen. Go on and be yourself. 💕Love your style. I can learn so much of your videos 🥰
such a good tutorial, I appreciate the in depth conversation you’re willing to bring to the table. Thank you.
giving away your trade tips, much appreciated man fr 💛
Of course, thanks for watching
AHHHH BRUUHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! JUST WHAT I NEEDED!
Glad I could help out
Ohh men! Thank you so much! You inspire me to follow my projects.
Thank you..appreciate the detailed explanation. This is definitely a cost effective way to start a t shirt or apparel business. Just takes time and effort
I print photographs using a technique called carbon transfer print which uses essentially the same mechanism as the emulsion making in screen printing but the sensitising chemicals are quite toxic and I'm just so ready to start making something again that's not just a constant menace to my health 😂. And just want to say your studio is marvellous I would kill for a space like that to make work :P
This was the most helpful DIY video I’ve ever watched. What do you do if you wanted to use multiple colors fr one design as a beginner?
Best screen printing video tutorial I have watched so far🙌 THANK YOU!
i apreciate the energy and time you have dedicated to do this video for begginers. Love
Your method is so simplistic. Some people have you worrying about clamps, registration marks, dryers for your curing…
Dude, I'm just here waiting for the next drop.
I just dropped, follow my Instagram for update
I watched this with my 3 and 7 year olds and they were enthralled. Thanks for showing them how to make shirts.
Thank you for your honest and detailed tutorial. Well-explained. 👍
Love the video, this was very helpful and informative and inspired me to start doing my own screenprinting. Would you be interested and doing a similar video; very DIY with low cost, but with multiple colors? Like burning screens for say a 4 color design without an actual press and just the screens?
Great video! Once you mix the emulsion and the sensitizer, do you have to use it all up or can you save it for the next project? in other words, how long does it last if you keep it in a dark place?
3 months
Thank you for sharing your beginning process. I enjoyed the video. Much Appreciated.
Loved this! I always wondered where to start, especially for a beginner and this was very helpful. 💯
This video eased my anxiety lol
When you first started your brand did you go straight to screen printing? Have you experimented with heat transfer or any other style of printing? And what advice do you have for someone who is trying to start his brand, living in LA i have a lot of stuff accessible but don’t know where to start i have some very rough designs but just can’t think of a starting point
This is by far the best tutorial I’ve found for trying to learn this method. Thank you 😊
I really wanna start screen printing but was low key intimidated. This video was super helpful and u make it look super easy. Thanks 🤩
Your videos are so good! Could you do a video about designing some artworks? I think it’s the hardest topic of screenprinting. 🔥
Getting a lot of requests on this so very soon
Thank you so much!
As a complete beginner.... loads of questions, sorry! Did screen printing always rely on light exposure or was there a different way of making the screen? And if the first exposure doesn't work, do you have to start right over again, with a new layer of pure emulsion?
This has been the best video I have seen for beginners. Thank you so much!! Ordering everything today !!
Thank you so much for sharing and being open and helpful. Best tutorial I've seen so far, I learn better visually.
you can also get standard 8.5x11 transparency sheets at office depot (some wal-mart locations have them as well) and you can print on your home printer if it's an inkjet printer. I didn't know that speedball made a light kit - I think that's pretty handy. I've always used a 500 or 800 watt photoflood bulb from a specialty photography supply or light bulb supply shop ( $7 - $15 for a bulb depending on brand and where you get it) and I have a 1000 watt rated lamp that I got a long time ago at Lowe's. I don't think lowes sells anything rated above 300 watts anymore in store but they can still be found online if you look hard enough - be sure to always power it through a surge protector and always have a class B or ABC fire extinguisher on hand (NEVER class A only - Those can make an electrical fire worse)
I'm confused, I'm doing the ave to a PDF and going to print shop, but idk how there going to print it, what will they print it on for me to put on my screen?? please help, will they print it on a piece of transparent paper??
HELLO BROTHER
screen printing is cool but I'm waiting on the illustrator tutorials
Will work on that very soon
Love the videos man. Ya genuine passion for what you do shines through and is inspiring.
Thank you for making printing look much easier than I originally thought. Tom
great energy bro! how did you find a workplace big enough to get messy and creative without having to do it in your living room???
frs such a struggle
Hi!
Once you mix it together how long does it last ?
Absolutly love how your office room is filled with all those plants
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate all the information and detail you provided us. Blessings. ♥️
- you need to lubricate the screen with water first if it is water based ink (spray mist then dry for 10 mins)
- your t shirt needs to be adhered to the surface using table tac or spray adhesive
- you need a squeegee that can flood the entire print and pull/push the entire print ( if you use a small one you have streaks of heavy ink load in sections/lines)
- you need to ad glycerin gel to the ink to stop it from drying if you are doing multiple shirts (1-2% of ink weight)
good luck
I love the recommendations but not the tone of telling.
@@leandersmith6184 there is no tone hear there are no words he is sampling typing and helping others
Great stuff thx
Hey Brema, to have a different design on the same screen, can i reapply a new coat of emulsion? or do i have to buy a separate screen for every design?
Also, you're a gem! Love from India
You have to reclaim the screen using decoater chemical to remove the hardened emulsion first , wash it off and then you can reuse it for other designs.
@@deven05 Thanks for answering!!
You are amazing!! Thanks for putting out content, teaching us and inspiring us as well!
This was super helpful and I loved the authenticity! Thank you!!😁
What kind of marker was that?
Do I have to buy a new screen everytime I come up with a new design?
I think there is a screen washer you can buy to erase the previous design, it’s a fluid
this video is everything. Thanks so much, I can’t imagine a better way to learn about screen printing.
Thanks so much for this. You made the whole process really easy to understand.
Thank you so much you really are helping people make their dreams a reality.
I loved everything about this video. It’s rare to get people to share knowledge.
You are so original and so unique, keep up the amazing work!!❤️🔥
Very helpful I’ve watched bunch of other videos on how to get started and this one by far made more sense to me 🤙🏼 gonna give it a shot
Awesome
I like that you are promoting idea of keep trying different ways which gives the best results.
Your explanation is also explicit.
Really appreciate the raw content. Excited to try screen printing for the first time
I'm like in love with this dude. Such a good vibe and so appreciate the transparency
nice work man i really liked your thoughtful and patient approach to explain everything for a total beginner
Thank you again, enjoyed your video will try this process asap I can access resources, love your vibes by the way!
I will try this during the weekend. Thanks for all the info!
Great Video! Very clear and easy to understand! Thank you for making this video, I now have the tools and knowledge to start my own screen printing business.
I really appreciate you showing the light print. Errors are important to share so thanks.
