Stamping on an Umbrella

[Rivrsong]

Greetings,

Am new to the group, so I hope I am doing this correctly (sorry, I will read all the background info...I promise). I would like to be able to stamp onto an umbrella and am not sure if there is a medium I can use to do this. Most craft paint requires heat setting - very difficult to do with an umbrella... Any suggestions??? Have thought of using fabric paint but it does not come in an ink pad, so not sure how I could use it with rubber stamps...

Any suggestions are appreciated...

Cheers,

Rivrsong

What kind of umbrella is it? (some are more vinyl-y, some are more fabric-y?)

Hi, Rivrsong! Welcome to SCS!

You can use your fabric paint to stamp with. You can apply the paint with a foam brush or put a puddle of paint on a plate as a "pad" if you'd rather. Just check on the heat setting part of whatever you use. Most heat tools will probably be too hot for a nylon umbrella (I'm guessing), but you could just put it outside to dry--112 degree heat index here today! ;)

Let us know what you do!

It is fabric...

Thanks, I will try the fabric paint with a foam roller... But curious to know if there are any ink pads that might work...

Cheers.

First of all, welcome to SCS. There is an inkpad called Fabrico, manufactured by Tsukineko, that might work. If you do a Google search, you will find places that sell it. I'd love to see the umbrella when you're done. Please post photos.

Don't forget to post a pic when you're done! ;)
