Pedicure Inspired Printmaking: Make a Foam Stamp & Use it on Fabric
April 19, 2022
You guys! This weekend I printed this awesome piece of fabric and it's all thanks to my visit to the nail salon!
Last week I was sitting in the nail salon when I suddenly realized that the foam things they put between your toes were super cool shapes! In this video tutorial I show you how I turned my pedicure into a fantastic foam stamp as well as how to use the stamp to print on fabric. I even take you through how to use an ironing board to set up a print studio for printing on a long piece of fabric! I hope you enjoy the video!
SUPPLIES:
- Toe Separators
- Thick Foam Sheets
- Glossy Accents Adhesive
- Muslin
- Brayer
- Palette Paper
- Butcher Paper
- Fabric Block Printing Ink
Side note: I went online and it turns out that those toe separator things come in lots of different styles. Check it out:
I see a lot of cool foam stamps you could make from these simple pedicure tools. Inspiration really is everywhere!
And before I go, here's another look at that super cool piece of hand printed fabric:
As you can see from the detail photos, in some places I did a good job of lining things up and in some places I didn't. And you know what? I don't think it matters.
Thanks for stopping by!
