Instructions in 4 steps Cotton bag with hearts - stamped on and ready for use.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Cardboard or thick paper, Water for washing out, Household sponge

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Pre-wash the cotton bag without fabric softener and flatten it by ironing before you start stencilling. Put a cardboard or a thick paper into the already prepared bag and you can get started.

Step 2

However, if you want the heart-rectangle to be placed exactly in the middle, it is advisable to stamp the hearts on a cardboard first. That way you get a template that you can put afterwards in your bag. You can see the positioning through the thin fabric.

Step 3

To spread the fabric dye onto the heart shaped stamp use the painting sponge. To do this, put some paint on a pad and dip the painting sponge into the paint. Soak the sponge with paint by gently dabbing before applying it onto the motif of the wooden stamp. Then stamp each heart individually on the bag. Repeat the colour application after each stamping. The special effect is created by the heart in orange which in this case is out of the ordinary.
