hi everyone i'm holly from hand printed
and i have a quick project for you
using hand printed fabric paints we have
loads of different colors in these
fabric paints i've just chosen three
pastel shades
for the summer um but we have loads and
loads of different colors so do check
them out
they all come in 50 milliliter pots
cottons will work best
for this quick project i'm going to be
using a
heavyweight tote bag which is 100 cotton
it's nice and thick and it's got to
gusset so this is a great one to
paint onto all i need to do is paint
these directly onto the fabric
you can use indium blocks to stamp them
if you like or if you've got any
thermofax screens and these are great
with that
and then when i'm finished when it's dry
i just need to heat set them with an
iron so it's really really simple
so this is a great project to do with
children as well you can even do it with
really young children if they're
supervised
because it's very simple so it'd be
great for the
maybank holidays if you're looking for a
project to do while the kids are at home
i've just got a little bit of these
fabric paints out on an inking tray we
have these trays as well
on them handprinted dot co dot uk as you
can see this one has been very well used
and i'm just going to do a really simple
floral design
i'm going to dip the end of my brush in
the blue
and then i want the base of the brush to
pick up some pink
i'm then going to sort of stamp and
wiggle
my paintbrush
onto the fabric load it up again
and then put down a petal just like that
keep loading my paintbrush up and
returning to the fabric
the more you dip your brush in the two
colors the more you're going to get
those two
shades starting to blend together so you
should have a nice fade
from the center of the flower out to the
end of the petal
so there we have it a really quick easy
spring floral painting project
as soon as this paint is dry i can iron
it you want to
iron it on the hottest setting that the
fabric can handle this is cotton so it
could be pretty hot
and you want it to feel hot to the touch
you want the print to feel hot
so if you're doing this project with
children that's the bit for grown ups
choose whatever colors you like we have
lowe's available or hand printed dot
code uk as well as these bags happy
printing
