you can use ordinary color for textiles or screenprint color (works best with the ones for for bright textiles) if you apply the color with a small sponge on the stamp

wow! totally cute! wasn’t quite sure how the stamps would work out but now I’m getting a set of my own!! :)

I was thinking of getting a set of these stamps since they’re so cute, but now I know for sure I have to get them. I will be in the shoppe this weekend!

It seems so easy, I hope it is!

how very sweet and quaint.

thanks for posting! this seems like a fun project to do with kids too

I just completed a kid’s set of tables and chairs that are just painted solid colors (see by clicking on my name). Now this is giving me the idea that I could use stamps to decorate even more. I did have a a plan to mod podge on some kid-friendly images. But stamping may be much easier. How permanent are they though?

Very cool idea! I would never have thought of it. But will the printing last?

As long as you use the appropriate ink or paint for wood and heat set the fabric ink with an iron, the printing should last, no problem!

For the chairs, you could use a brayer to apply latex paint to the stamps instead of using a stamp pad if you prefer.

C.U.T.E.
cute!

Oh my goodness! Those are wonderful!

These are great! and thanks for the fabric friendly ink tip! I see a Saturday morning project coming up.

This would be a great project to do with my neices and nephews. They could create their own towels to use during wash-up time - encouring creativity AND cleanliness!

Thanks, Lauren. I love the idea about using latex paint instead!

these are super cute and i can’t wait to do them myself. what kind of dishtowel did you use? the ones that look most like them online are called “glass towels”–would that be appropriate?

thanks!

margo, they look like “flour sack” or muslin dishtowels. you can usually get them at the hardware store (like Ace) in sets of two or three. Wash first.

thanks so much sue!

great project!~ thanks so much for the wonderful inspiration. so easy too.

I made a set of stamped dishtowels for a friend with what I *thought* was the same exact ink you used for these. I heat-set them and sent them to her for a housewarming gift. She loved them but she did tell me that unfortunately, the ink came almost completely off in the wash. I used the ink you linked to…any ideas? Thanks! Love your blog :)

Great work!
