Step 1

Paint Pad - spread evenly with a spatula, or back of a spoon. When ready, pad will be squishy and wet, but paint will be absorbed. It takes a little while, have patience!

Step 2

Lightly tap up and down on pad - don’t push down on pad, as stamp will become saturated!

Step 3

Check to see if image is painted- if not, continue a light tapping on the pad don't push hard! Only the image needs to be painted!

Step 4

Hold stamp over area to be stamped - line up and with one hand holding the stamp, push fingers of your other hand on the mount to get a great impression! For best results stamp on a lightly padded surface, like a piece of felt.

Step 5

Clean off stamp. Baby wipes make a great portable cleaning tool. A soft toothbrush and mild dish detergent are best for cleaning detailed stamps.

Step 6

For added detail, color in your image with brush tip fabric markers!

Step 7

Let stamped images dry, then heat set with a dry iron. Curing is necessary for all textile paints. Allow your stamped fabric to dry thoroughly for 24 to 48 hours before washing. The longer you allow it to cure, the better the image will remain. Heat setting is recommended to keep the vibrancy of the colors and images after washings! Iron over your image with the hottest setting your fabric will take, for 30 to 45 seconds.

Paper Stamping

Our paints work well for stamping on paper, the image is permanent so you can color in with water colors and it won’t bleed! It does take a bit longer to dry before coloring than regular paper ink.

Stamp on Wood

The surface should be unsealed and not painted for best results (flat dull finish paints are okay). Paint or color in the image with fabric markers, then seal with a water-based varnish, it won’t run!
