Discover the flourishing craft of hand-printing with 35 beautiful projects for stylish and practical homewares and bags.

This book introduces you to techniques such as stamping, lino printing, and stencilling, which you can do at home using inexpensive tools and upcycled materials.

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.

A Beginner's Guide to Hand-Printing: 35 Projects to Make is perfect for anyone looking to explore the art of hand-printing with ease and creativity.
