Hello pals, it is Keren from (@craftstampink) with you for a ‘With 3 Issues’ problem submit.
This function on the PaperArtsy Weblog is the place 3 bloggers are despatched 3 objects within the submit. Usually we are going to obtain a stamp, a stencil and a few Fresco Paints, and in 2025, everybody will obtain an identical merchandise.
We’ve got no clue what PaperArtsy HQ goes to ship, the entire thought of this problem is to do one thing artful in our private model with these 3 objects. We’re allowed to convey different PA merchandise into the combination if we really feel it’s obligatory.
So let’s check out what I acquired from PA HQ (minus the felt and cloth)…
At present I’ve made a woven zipper pouch- let’s take a better look.
Here is the way it got here collectively..
Collect merchandise that match in color…giving Refresher vibes (anybody within the UK bear in mind these?!).
Paint giant items of fabric- the left is placing paint straight on the material, the proper swipe is utilizing watered down Frescos (roughly 2/3 paint, 1/3 water).
With solely 2 colors, mixing them is the right solution to get completely firming further colors.
You’ll be able to see my clear up piece of fabric- however the attractive stencil was too delicate to get an honest end result because the paint was seeping beneath the stencil- possibly subsequent time I ought to add spray adhesive on the stencil to cease that.
While I waited for the material to dry on the washing line, I bought to stamping. JOFY stamps are lovely and naturally stamp completely. I do wish to over-stamp when utilizing cloth, so a stamp press is available in fairly useful.

Now to organize some strips for weaving utilizing a rotary cutter- simply reduce twice as broad as you want the strips to be.
To keep away from uncooked edges, merely make them into bias strips all prepared for weaving.
Including double sided cloth adhesive to the reverse of the stamp pictures meant it could be simple to iron them on as soon as the pouch was put collectively.
Ahh the weaving- my mind was not ready for the battle or effort! Firstly, put together your weft- I discovered a big cardboard field and caught pins into them.
That is the place I practically gave up. As soon as you’ve got woven the diamonds (that are at a 30 diploma angle to the weft), you then should create the ‘dice’ sample.
The mind pressure was price it- a splendidly tactile piece of woven fabric.
To safe the weave, simply add some stitching across the edges. Now I organized the flowers-can anybody see a rooster? How I wanted I might seen it when creating it and would have made it look extra ‘chicken-y’! I stamped on acetate for the black define flower.
I like the painted fabric- the Fresco End Acrylic Paints are simply superior. It was enjoyable creating my very own substrate and so they’re such completely happy colors to work with. Restricted provides actually does encourage inventive pondering. What is admittedly thrilling is the best way that you may create practically seamless blends on cloth.
We might like to see your stamped cloth tasks!
See you once more quickly,
Keren
