DIY: How To Stamp Clothing

Hey guys!

Today I'm showing you a pretty specific DIY. For my senior thesis this coming year, I'm doing handprinted clothing. So I've started practicing now! Here's how I did it, in case you ever want to try this stuff yourself.

I used a three layer strawberry stamp, but one layer would be much simpler!

You'll need:

You can buy all these supplies at an art supply store, like dick blick or jerry's artarma!

Each knife is a different shape, and they work by scooping out the rubber. A wood carving kit would also work well!

 The ink I bought is oil based, and is made for paper and fabric.

I love my new strawberry shirt, and I really learned a lot about printing on fabric. For instance, to make things less messy, in the future I plan to mount the raised part of the stamp onto some wood.

Also, light colors don't come out too great on darker colors, like the yellow spots.
