Textile printing
A whole host of stamp designs available in the shops also opens up
all manner of highly creative opportunities for printing onto fabric.
Simply dye these stamps using edding 4500 textile markers - and you can
start imprinting all manner of different textiles in next to no time:
t-shirts, table cloths, cloth bags, bed linen and much, much more.
You
can also make your own stamp design with real ease using foam rubber.
Foam
rubber is a really fine-pore elastic foam material available in many
strengths and shapes. Foam rubber is available in sheet form or can be
purchased as pre-punched parts.
So that you don't have to press the
individual parts together for long, use a quick-drying glue, but not a
superglue, because this will not be suitable for this purpose. In
art-and-craft shops, you can get special foam rubber adhesives.
What you need to make your own stamps:
-
a sheet of foam rubber
- old lids (e.g. from jam jar / drink
bottles) or wooden blocks
- nail scissors
- ball-point pen
-
glue
- edding 1340 brushpen
- textile material for printing
Using the ball-point pen, draw various different shapes onto the
foam rubber, for example stars or hearts, letters and flowers, animals
and numbers - whatever you want!
Cut out your various shapes and
then stick to the lids (making sure that you have turned your design the
other way round where appropriate before gluing it down). As soon as
the glue is dry, the stamps are ready!
Now dye the stamp with the edding 1340 brushpen or press onto an ink pad - and then you can get down to some textile printing.
