As I’m beginning to concentrate on creating a rock and roll clothing
line, I realized I didn’t have any labels for the clothes. In the past I made a lot of jewelry so I have
plenty of paper cards and stickers, but nothing I could sew on. I came across some twill tape at work that
had been marked down so many times, it was only $0.34! So I decided to try printing “raygun undone”
on it. After a few smeary attempts I found
something that worked….
MATERIALS: 1 inch wide twill tape (it comes in those Wrights
packaged tapes at fabric stores), alphabet rubber stamps, Palette Hybrid Ink
pad, iron
I found some old typewriter font alphabet stamps that were
perfect! I researched different ink pads
and found that Palette Hybrid ink can be used on fabric if heat set. So I cut strips of twill tape, leaving space
for a seam on each side of my logo. Then
I just printed on each strip, ironed them between layers of parchment paper,
and they are ready to be sewn! I tried
washing them out and the ink stayed, so it was a success. I will have to experiment with these ink pads
further, they seem like a great addition to the silk screening and stenciling I
have been doing lately!
