Candy Cane Sheets

Rubber stamps and fabric paints turn plain white sheets into festive holiday bedding. Curl up inside these sheets to ensure sweet dreams of holiday cheer.

You Need:

White sheets and pillowcases /Cosmetic sponges /fabric paints or rubber stamp inks intended for use on fabric/rubber stamps in candy cane shapes/fine tip permanent black marking pen

Instruction:

Wash the sheets and pillowcases and press if necessary

Use cosmetic sponges to pat fabric paint of the desired color evenly over the surface of the ribber stamp. Do not allow the paint get into the crevices of the stamp design.Firmly press the stamp onto the sheet without rocking it;a rocking motion will smudge the design. Lift the stamp straight off. Reapply paint and repeat the stamping procedure as often as you like to cover the sheets and pillowcases. Let the paint dry. To change colors, first clean the stamp with window cleaner and water,

Use the fine tip marking pen to write the phrase... "While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads" on the bedding. Place the phrase randomly;let the ink dry.

To set the paint, press the fabric on the unpainted side with a warm iron,or tumble the sheets in a dryer for 20 minutes at the highest possible setting.
