Hand Print on Fabric with Craft Rubber Stamps or Homemades

To hand print fabric with craft rubber stamps or homemade stamps (I used carved potato halves as a kid!) is quite easy; and I have three neat examples for you.

Lovely decorative linen ribbons made by Rita of Beach House Living and for sale in her Etsy store. The prints are made with craft rubber stamps such as shells and starfish, using ink, she explains on her blog. To learn more click image.

print on fabric towels
I found this little print on fabric project on Design Sponge. They whipped up a few darling custom tea towels...

... with the help of these seascape Rubber Stamps.

And the third print project comes from Mary of Boogieboard Cottage and is done with a homemade stamp. Mary had some left over Home Depot drop cloth and made a great table runner.

She traced the starfish on a thin piece of craft foam and used that as her stamp.

this would be a lovely thing to do with children - probably even better without them, come to that...

Thank you Maya! for the sweet feature. Such a nice photo collage. I like the table runner by Boogie Board it's perfectly imperfect and she used a great mix of color.

I love the sort of washed out look that the stamping creates. The starfish & shells on the ribbons & runner are so pretty, and the sailboat tea towel is fun & whimsical -- are those little orange fish jumping out of the water?? :-)

Love the colors she used on the starfish AND the fact that it's fabric from a drop cloth! Also, love the idea of those fabric stamped ribbons. Good stuff Maya! ~Lili
