Learn How to Fabric Stamp

Use the basic method of fabric stamping.  Apply white paint to the stamp
very thickly, then stamp the image.  Allow the image to dry to the touch.  Wash & dry the stamp.  Stamp the image a second time with desired paint color(s).  You can use a stamp positioner if you want perfectly aligned images.  We like some of the white paint showing behind the colored image, so we don't use a stamp positioner.  If you double stamp an image without the stamp positioner (like we do), the design is a little bit less structured.

Tips:
You can stamp the white base image twice if you want, then stamp it with color.  This makes the colored image really stand out!

Some (or all) of the images can be stamped in white only (with no color image on top).  This will give your design on dark fabric more depth & contrast!
