Make a printed keepsake inspired by the shapes of Australian flora and fauna!

Step 1. Cut a sheet of Printing Foam into quarters.

Step 2. Design three organic shapes based on Australian flora and fauna and/or traditional Christmas symbols.

Step 3. Cut these shapes out of one piece of foam. Push a small piece of Display Tack onto the back of each of the shapes. This will make it easier to hold the shape when stamping it.

Step 4. Apply some Fabric Paint to a sponge to make a stamp pad.

Step 5. Ink foam shapes using the sponge stamp pad.

Step 6. Use the shapes to print a pattern onto a Calico Bag or Tea Towel. Allow to dry.

Step 7. Heat seal with an iron to make your design colourfast and washable.

Step 8. Add line work to your design with an EverZart Broad Marker.

OPTION. This activity can also be applied to any other fabric base.
