A Beginners Guide to Hand-Printing by Cico Books
Discover the flourishing craft of hand-printing with 35 beautiful projects for stylish and practical homewares and bags.
Hand-printing is a brilliant way of creating unique projects and avoiding over-priced, mass-produced items. This beginner’s handbook guides you through a variety of hand-printing techniques so you can make beautifully patterned homewares, bags and gifts.
In the first chapter, find out how to make and use stamps to create gorgeous projects including a leafy lampshade, honeycomb bunting, and an envelope clutch bag. Next, try your hand at using stencils and screen-printing to make giant floor cushions, a boxy weekender bag and even a set of nesting tables.
The final chapter shows you how to use more unusual methods such as ceramic and photo transfer and sun printing to make storage pots, a patchwork quilt, an everyday tote bag and more. The techniques section and projects include illustrated step-by-step instructions, and at the back of the book you’ll find easy-to-use templates for the print motifs and sewing projects.
