- Remove stitches and stuffing from pillow and set stuffing aside.
- Practice stamping design on paper or scrap fabric before beginning to determine the amount of glaze and stamping pressure needed.
- Place sandpaper between layers of fabric to prevent glaze from bleeding through.
- Use roller to evenly load glaze onto the stamp (figure A). Use a cotton swab to clean any excess from crevice or edges. Next, stamp design onto pillow. Use several colors as desired, or a single color.
- Use entire hand to press the stamp firmly (figure B).
- Reload the stamp before stamping the next design.
- When finished, allow fabric to dry overnight. Turn fabric inside out and use a dry iron on the cotton setting to heat-set the design.
- Stuff the pillow and stitch closed.
