Description

Carve a simple stamp and upgrade your old jeans with a custom cactus print.

Instructions

  1. With your pencil, draw a cactus on your stamping block. Keep it simple!

  2. Use your stamp cutting/carving tool to trace the outline of your cactus shape and carve away the outer stamp block material.

    Using your foam brush, coat the cactus stamp with green fabric paint.

  4. Small 111012 2f2015 09 13 171636 image4 1 600x459

    Press the stamp onto your pants. There is no set pattern so just slap it down wherever you want!

    Continue painting the stamp and stamping the pants until both the front and back are covered.

    Use the fine point paint brush to go back over the stamped images and fill them in with more green fabric paint.

  7. Let the pants dry and wear them with prickly pride!
