Beginner Under 1 Hour

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

  • Sticky back foam sheets
  • Extra thick foam sheet
  • Washable marker or pen
  • Scissors
  • Fabric paint
  • Foam brush
  • Various fabric surfaces to print onto

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Trace or draw a simple shape onto the foam sheet. Cut shape out with scissors.
  2. Cut smaller shapes from the sticky back foam sheets. Stick small shapes to the larger shape. Keep smaller shapes close together, filling the larger shape.
  3. Use foam brush to apply a thin layer of fabric paint to the smaller shapes on the stamp.
  4. Working on a protective surface, stamp design onto fabric surface.

JOANN Hacks:

  • Spread a thin layer of paint onto an extra piece of foam. Press stamp into the paint, wiggling stamp around to quickly and evenly coat the stamp.
  • For T-shirts and tote bags, protect the opposite side of the material by putting a piece of cardboard inside the item.
  • For a clean print, apply stamp with firm, even pressure.
