It’s a grid of hearts! Using a pencil, draw a simple pattern as a guide, and use a fabric pen to draw in hearts along the intersections.
Create this subtle watercolor look by using masking tape and brushing on diluted fabric ink. The more water you use, the lighter the shade. So cool!
So much fun dip dyeing using fabric dye. To do this, follow the dye instructions and you quickly have a beautiful bag for summer.
Have fun creating a bold, custom look by carving your own stamp, rolling fabric ink on it and repeating the stamp pattern across the bag.
Create a notebook-paper look by using two fabric pens, a ruler and pencil. Simply make evenly spaced lines along the bag, and easy peasy, done!
One of our faves! Cut out a heart stamp and brush bleach water along the stamp edges, pressing it down. Repeat for a super exciting, random stamp design!
