Tips and Tricks

  • Wear old clothes or a smock when doing crafts. Stains are very difficult to remove.
  • Wash the bedding before painting to remove the finish. Please wash without fabric softener so the paint adheres better. Let the bedding dry and iron it if necessary.
  • Before stamping, place a piece of cardboard between the sheets to prevent the ink from bleeding through to the back of the pillowcase.

How it is done:

  • Set up your workspace and gather your materials. Then, use a pencil to sketch your favorite ocean scenes onto the foam rubber sheet.
  • Cut out the designs.
  • Glue the foam rubber shapes onto a piece of cardboard. Then, use a pencil to trace the details of the shapes, such as eyes and fins.
  • Place some Marabu KiDS T-Shirt Paint on a plate or piece of cardboard. Use the dabbing brush to pick up the paint and transfer it to the foam rubber stamp.
  • Press the stamp firmly onto the fabric. Repeat this process as many times as you like with different colors and designs.
  • Then, clean the stamps and allow the ink to dry. Once dry, either iron the fabric from the front through a thin cloth on the cotton setting for three minutes (without steam), or set it in the oven for eight minutes at 150 °C. After that, the bedding can be washed in water up to 60 °C.
