The last experience I had with DIY fabric prints left me excited to try it out with other objects from around the house. So, when I came across a wine cork while cleaning the kitchen I knew immediately what my next print design would be...
Polka-dots!After gathering a few supplies, I was able to create a fun print in just a few minutes for the backpack I was working on.
(My little helper created his own design on paper)
I used a paint brush to fill in the spots that were missing paint.
Once the paint dried, I finished cutting and assembling the backpack pieces. The lining, backpack straps, and doll dress were all made using scraps from these teacher gifts.I really enjoy making these backpack dolls because each one is unique, and I can't wait to see how the next one will turn out.. I wonder what new "stamp" I will come across next?!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love these! You are so talented! I think you should branch out and try a boy doll...I'm sure Ryan would dig one of these someday soon.
