Hi everyone, it's Etsuko My favorite things with you today, and I'd like to share with you Cute Critters Fabric hanging using my favorite Elena's stamps.
I've always been interested in fabric dolls since I've noticed those made from Elena stamps by Lauren hatwell,
but I don't know how to make dolls of different sizes from the same
stamps. And recently I found out on YouTube how to print on fabric with
an inkjet printer. OK I do it, from then on, these dolls are really
lovable and I can't stop being addicted.
First of all I prepare A4 full sheet sticker paper for inkjet printer and attached to white cloth as not to be wrinkled. The important thing is to choose a printer that drags paper from the top. I stamped lovely new Christmas Elena stamps ZA49.
The images are stamped on white card ,
scanned, captured on a PC, resized and printed on a cloth. Printer
preset--plain paper, gray scale. Printing quality--high. After
printing on the cloth, beforehand iron a cloth so that the ink on the
print dose not bleed.
When
I started making, I painted all colors on the paper, scanned, printed
and finished, but I was not satisfied with the finished colors it was
dull. Then I printed only the black outline and applied Fresco paints
directly to the cloth with using Stain Glazing matt, the red patterned
fabric was pasted with Mod Podge.
I used Fresco paints mostly these colors for these critters. Fresco colors-- Mustard Pickle, Peach Nectar, Chocolate Pudding, Mocha Mousse, Tikka, Buff, Glass Blue, Bougainvillea, Turquoise, Eggplant, French Roast.

I
sewed the red wear outline before filling cotton. Then cotton, pressed
cotton, adhesive cotton and white cloth were stacked in order and then
zigzag sewing machine was applied, I cut the around the doll and
attached a string for hang on the top and finished.

Making a doll is magical by cutting the shape and stuffing a little cotton. All of them are small critters of about 13cm, so just putting them in the own craft room makes them look fun. It's easy and fun to make stamps. Would you like to make one?
Thank you so much for visiting.

ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Etsuko - your little fabric doll characters are a complete delight... So clever to alter the sizes and print on the fabric, and brilliant colouring with the paint on each image. What an inspirational post.
