Get a cheap screen printing frame holder thing off the Internet, order some ink and a squeegee, I used to burn my own screens but now there are places that will burn your art and mail it to you pretty quickly and it's way better, easier, faster than trying to get an exposure perfect on your own. I do t shirts but it's pretty simple. YouTube a video on how to technique and you'll be golden
30ish years ago, I burned my own screens using this red film that you would cut with an xacto knife and peel off the parts you didn't want. Omg it was so tedious. We were manually doing the job of a modern Cricut.
About 5 years ago I wanted to do a project but no longer had any of my old gear. Bought a screen online and for sure bought the upgrade for them to burn the art on it for me. So worth it. I was so tickled that that service even existed.
