Fabric Stamping





NOT SURE IF ANY OF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FABRIC STAMPING BUT I TRIED IT FOR
THE FIRST TIME TODAY AND REALLY LIKE IT.

I USED A LARGE TEDDY BEAR STAMP AND A FABRIC STAMP PAD.
YOU STAMP THE IMAGE ON A PIECE OF PLAIN PAPER AND LET IT DRY. THEN WITH A HOT
DRY IRON YOU IRON IT ONTO YOUR FABRIC. IT WORKS JUST LIKE A REAL TRANSFER.
I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY IT TURNED OUT.

I TRIED STAMPING DIRECTLY ONTO THE FABRIC AND THEN PRESSING WITH THE IRON BUT

IT DOESN'T WORK QUITE AS WELL.
SO I AM GOING TO GET A PIECE OF PLAIN PAPER AND STAMP ALL MY TEDDY BEARS
THEN PRESS IT ONTO THE FABRIC THAT I AM GOING TO MAKE INTO PILLOW CASES FOR
MY GRANDSONS. I ALSO HAVE COLLECTED A BUNCH OF TEDDY BEARS SAYINGS THAT I
WILL BE WRITING ON WITH FABRIC PENS.

SO IF ANYONE HAS AN ODD TEDDY BEAR SAYING LAYING AROUND PLEASE PASS IT ON
TO ME. SUCH AS I LOVE YOU BEARY MUCH.
THEY SAY TO USE A POLY-COTTON BLEND FABRIC SINCE IT TAKES THE TRANSFER
BETTER. I AM MAKING MY PILLOW CASES OUT OF SHEETING THAT I PURCHASED AT THE
FABRIC STORE. IT HAS TO BE WASHED AND NO FABRIC SOFTNER ADDED BEFORE
STAMPING. IT TAKES 24 HOURS BEFORE YOU CAN USE OR WASH THE FABRIC AFTER IT
IS STAMPED.
