If you have a child or if you are a teacher….you probably have these cheap little foam stickers laying around:
I use them as stamps because let’s face it…..you can only do so much with 400 horse stickers:
I stack the stickers 3 high….that’s just enough height to keep the ink on the stamp and not on the stamping block. I use Legos for the stamping block because they are so customizable in shape and can be easily cleaned and thrown back in the Lego pile:
I use a paint roller or brayer to apply regular fabric paint or screen printing ink to the stickers. I used Setacolor fabric paint (from Dharma Trading) here:
The first stamp:
Continue stamping until your paper or fabric is covered and let dry. Then heat set with an iron:
An easy way to embellish tees or wrapping paper for a holiday or every day:
