Supplies: ironed flour sack dish towel, stamp, acrylic paint, foam brush, card board, tape and iron
Directions:
1. Lay out your ironed dish towel on card board or newspaper and tape down flat.
2. Mix your paint for desired color.
3. Apply paint to stamp using foam brush.
4. Press the stamp firmly to towel.
5. When the paint is dry and your stamping is done, move the dish towel to ironing board and place old cloth on top of it. Now you will “heat set” the paint by ironing over the cloth on top of the towel.
6. Wash and dry the towel and wrap it up to surprise a sweet friend!

Great tutorial! Will the stamps wash off in the washer or are there any special washing / drying instructions?
Hi Nicole –
I have washed and dried it twice and the paint stays on. I recommend “heat setting” the paint by using an iron over the towel after it completely drys.
Enjoy! Sara
What a sweet project. I love how the bridge towers resemble two people holding hands. Great application.
Thanks Ceci!
