Woodblock printing is one of the printing techniques
used by people interested in handicrafts today. This printing technique,
applied with a woodblock printing mold, is also called wood printing.
You can color your daily clothes, fabric bags, bags, furniture, and accessories
using this printing technique. With the enjoyable and productive woodblock
printing process, you can also showcase your creativity.
When performing woodblock printing, you may need some tools.
Woodblock printing molds, shaped with special knives, are one of the
basic materials you will need for printing. When choosing among wood
printing molds, you should consider the dimensions of the surface you will
apply the print. Otherwise, the pattern on the printing mold will not be
printed completely. It is also useful to pay attention to the pattern on the
mold when choosing a woodblock mold.
Another essential you will need for the printing process is
paint. It is ideal to use fabric paints to print wood on fabric. Fabric paint,
which is a type of acrylic paint, supports the permanence of the printing
process. We have explained the process of making a mini pouch with woodblock
printing in detail for you to use comfortably daily.
Woodblock printing on a mini pouch is a popular and fun activity that many people enjoy. You can add some color and creativity to a plain fabric bag that you use for everyday errands by using this technique. To apply this process, you can follow the steps below:
·
You can choose a ready-made bag for printing or
prepare your fabric by cutting it into small sizes.
·
For a comfortable and flawless application of
woodblock printing, it is important to have a slightly soft surface for
printing.
·
Pour the paint you will use for the woodblock
printing into a flat container.
·
Then, dip a clean sponge into the paint and
apply it evenly to the woodblock. Make sure the block is fully coated with
paint during this step.
·
Place your bag or fabric onto the prepared soft
surface and start the printing process with your woodblock.
·
Apply gentle pressure to the block with the
inside of your wrist to print the pattern onto the bag.
·
Once the woodblock printing is complete, you can
paint your mini pouch with the colors of your choice. It's helpful to use a
thin brush for painting.
·
Let the printed bag dry for a while.
·
Once the print has dried, you can increase its
durability by ironing the inside of the bag or pouch.
