How to Make Your Own Hand-Stamped Napkins and Scarves

Lately we’re loving the natural feel of hand-printed textiles. From patterned dresses to stamped linens, there’s something really nice about these carefully hand-made designs. So, we decided to bring you TWO hand-stamped DIYs in the form of scarves and napkins.

We partnered up with Almost Makes Perfect to make these two sister kits — the Hand-Stamped Napkins Kit and Hand-Stamped Scarf Kit — available for $25 each in our online shop. The best part about these projects are how easily you can create your own custom stamps and change them out for multiple designs. Both of these kits are part of our pilot collection of Brit Kit Collabs, and we’re super excited to share them with you!

What are Brit Kit Collabs? Glad you asked! We teamed up with eight of our favorite makers, bloggers and designers to create a brand new set of nine exclusive Brit Kits, just in time for the holidays. Head to the shop to check ’em all out, and follow along to learn how to create your own hand-stamped textiles.

Materials + Tools:
– cotton napkins OR jersey scarf

– fabric paint

– sticky back foam

– wood block

– foam brush

Additional Tools (not included):
– scissors

– pencil

Instructions:

1. Trace around the wood block onto the back side of your sticky foam sheet.

2. Cut out your desired shapes.

3. Peel off the paper backing and stick foam shapes onto one side of the wood block.

4. Brush fabric paint onto your stamp using the foam brush.

6. Press stamp down firmly onto your napkins or scarf and reload with paint to create a repeating pattern.

7. Let air dry for 4 hours before wearing and 72 hours before machine washing.

Let’s get stamping!

Trace the wood block shape onto the back side of your sticky foam sheets using a pencil.

Cut out strips, triangles or any other custom shapes with a pair of scissors while staying within the size limits of the wood block.

Peel off the paper backing and stick your foam shapes onto one side of the wood block.

Brush a thin layer of fabric paint onto your foam stamp using the paintbrush. Leave some of the stamp dry for a nice brush stroke effect.

Press your stamp down firmly onto your napkins or scarf to transfer the fabric paint. Continue stamping until you have reached your desired effect. For the napkins, we loaded up the stamp with new paint for every section, for a consistent print.

So simple, but so good! Once you’ve finished stamping, let the fabric paint air dry for 4 hours before use and 72 hours before throwing in the washing machine.

Don’t forget you can make all sorts of shapes with your leftover sticky back foam. Simply peel away the old shapes, cut out new ones and stick them on for design #2!

Take a look at those nicely stamped napkins sets, available in three colors – Dusty Blue, Poppy and Lavender.

For the scarves, we tried out a slightly different technique, only loading up new paint every other section, giving the pattern a nice contrast. You can also play with a bit of a gradient, loading up more paint at the top of your stamp and less paint near the bottom.

Take your pick from four colors available for the Hand-Stamped Scarf Kit — Navy, Turquoise, Magenta and Black.

How cute does this look against a solid black tee and sharp blazer? No one will believe you made it yourself!

Sew, safety pin, or tie the ends together to turn it into an infinity scarf, or simply tuck the ends in to give the same effect.

Show that baby off, you’ve earned it!

The best shows leave you constantly thinking and wanting more, waiting on the edge of your seat episode after episode to figure out exactly what’s going on. Well, if you’re still thinking about The Union & Citadel: Diana, get excited because Apple TV+ has a new thriller that’s sure to enthrall you: Prime Target.

Prime Target follows Edward Brooks, who’s come up with an idea that would allow him to access every computer in the world. However, someone is trying to stop him — so what’s the bigger conspiracy at play here?

Here’s everything we know so far about Prime Target, coming to Apple TV soon!

​Your First Look At Leo Woodall & Quintessa Swindell In ‘Prime Target’

Apple TV+

While we can’t figure out too much from the three images we have so far, it gives us our first look at Edward and Taylah both individually and together. And you could cut the tension with a knife!

​What is the main plot of Prime Target?

Prime Target Plot

Young math postgraduate Edward is about to make a huge breakthrough as long as “he succeeds in finding a pattern in prime numbers, he will hold the key to every computer in the world. Soon he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it’s even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah Sanders,” according to the official synopsis. Sanders is the National Security Agency agent, who has “been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians’ behavior. Together they start to unravel the troubling conspiracy Edward is at the heart of.” Juicy!

When is Prime Target coming out?

Prime Target Release Date

The first season of the show has a total of eight episodes and is set to premiere globally on January 22, 2025 with the first two episodes on Apple TV+. After that, one new episode will be released weekly on Wednesdays through March 5, 2025.

​Who's starring in the show?

Apple TV+

Prime Target Cast

Fans will be able to recognize the show’s two leads easily, Leo Woodall from The White Lotus and One Day, and Quintessa Swindell from Black Adam and In Treatment. Woodall will be playing Edward Brooks, while Swindell portrays Taylah Sanders. Since they'll be working together to figure out the truth, their paths will certainly be intertwined throughout the entire story.

Additional cast members include Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jason Flemyng, Harry Lloyd, Ali Suliman, Fra Fee, and Joseph Mydell.

​Who created the series?

The series was created by award-winning writer Steve Thompson, who's worked on titles such as Sherlock, Doctor Who, Jericho, and Vienna Blood. He’s also an executive producer.

Meanwhile, executive producer Brady Hood directed all eight episodes, which will bring some consistency to the episodes. He is known for Top Boy and Great Expectations.
