How to Sun Print | DIY Cyanotype ･ ﾟ✧

This detailed tutorial will walk you through all the steps towards making your own sun printed t-shirt using a photograph of your choice! You will be taught what supplies to buy, how to turn your photos into film negatives, and the exposure technique that gets you that VIBRANT sun dyed image.

NOTE: Keep in mind this process is TRIAL AND ERROR and what works for me may not work for you right away. I’ve been doing this for years and still have to tinker around with exposure times, dye application, etc…don’t be discouraged by this as it’s part of the creative process! Just try again ❤️

[krysaandreevna]

This was one of the best detailed explanations of the printing process. Thank you so much for sharing!

[lindsey.]

the shirts are so cute and aesthetically pleasing

[bynbynbynnie]

I’ve been thinking about creating a couple of these this summer and ur video came at the perfect time eeeek💛

I’ve watched this video like 3 times now lol. I kept getting blurry prints but just now realized why you pay it down with the paper towel. Thanks for taking the time to make this 🙏🏽

[Aluenvey]

I definitely want to try this, although at the moment one thing I'm unsure about is how well pastel paintings will convert to film negatives. I mainly do monochromatic paintings in green-black, with grey-green highlights. But wanting to try making purple-grey pastels later.

Thank you for sharing. This looks like a fun project

[whowhat.wherewhen]

Cool video, i'm about to try making my first cyanotype prints, this video was really helpful so thanks for this interesting tutorial and showing us your process

[carterevanroust]

Thanks! Me and one of my friends have been seeing this a lot online and we were wondering how to do it. I sent her the link.

[Jfreem]

Such an amazing detailed vid!! Thank you! And, potential solution for stray dots of paint outside the frame—putting some tape over it so it doesn’t get sunlight before the wash-out phase?

[Vorundor]

This is awesome, will have to try it out soon. Thanks again for the video and inspiration.

[ArtbyBrooke]

This is such a fun DIY tutorial! Thank you for sharing <3

[e.carolinewalters]

Such a cool technique! You're making my want to try it out 🤩

[GRFLMDAD]

Thank you for this great tutorial! You're a great teacher!❤

[scottthomas]

It's a big contact print....At first, wondered what stopped the developing process....
With film, there's developer, stop and fix...
That looks like fun! A great way to make custom T-shirts for a small event, as well...
How small of an image will it do? Could you use that on, say, a white ( or light color) trucker's type hat?

[evehill]

Thanks for showing your process! Very cool!

[alexanderpelouch]

Thanks for sharing ! Can I print onto any type of fabric? Thinking about using linen canvas or something sturdy !

[melanieliston]

I read the regular cyanotype is hard to wash verses this type of dye where u can use regular detergent to wash it out. When I read thar I was sad because I wanted to print my own fabric for a skirt but idk if its going to keep the image in the long run. 😢....but this is so helpful thank you! Do more! ❤

You definitely didn’t miss. I want to see your wash
