Kenny,
There are cheap/easy DIY ways to make silkscreens,too.
Generally, one can stretch sheer curtain fabric/ nylon on an embroidery hoop or other kind of frame.
I have even stretched/ taped it on a crude Matt cut out of cardboard.
Generally, I then draw/trace the image, block around the design by painting mod-podge glue (maybe not a choice for Sat. since glue involves a drying factor), but masking tape, adhesive paper, etc. could be used to mask the screen for a print series .
Rather than squeegee, I press paint through the screen w stencil brushes, but soft squeegees (folded newspaper, cardboard) could be used.
