Hand-stamped tea towels


Turns out it is fairly easy to hand-stamp tea towels (this is a good tutorial, this one, too). I bought some inexpensive flour sack towels on Amazon for $8  and a liquid (Liquitex Professional Fabric Medium) that I mixed with my acrylic colors to create fabric dyes.

It worked best using an inexpensive foam roller that I soaked with paint and then rolled over the stamp.  The towels dried for 48h, and then I ironed them to make the color permanent.
