The steps you will follow in the fabric printing process are extremely practical. In addition to clothing products such as bags, dresses, handkerchiefs, shawls, writing, shirts and t-shirts, you can also turn textile products such as pillowcases, bedspreads, and tablecloths into a work of art with wooden print molds.

Before starting the woodblock printing process on the fabric, you should place the fabric you are going to print on, placing the blankets on top of each other on the table, and placing them on the not too hard surface. Then pour the fabric dye into a flat container. You can lightly distribute the paint in the container with the help of a sponge. With this method, the sponge will completely absorb the paint. Then paint the woodcut pattern of your choice with a sponge.

After making sure that all parts of the pattern are painted, you can place the pattern on your fabric. After placing the pattern on the fabric, you can tap the pattern lightly with the soft part of your hand. Then remove the mold. After completing the print in this way, you can paint the area you print with the colors you want by using fabric paint and brushes.

In the last stage, you can iron the fabric you are printing on the reverse side at medium temperature, so that the print and dyes become permanent.
