As a courtesy to my sweeties back in Finland (in a timezone way before ours),

Carve out the desired words from linoleum blocks (I got my blocks&carving tool at Hobby Lobby). Remember to do the words mirrored to get them the right way!

Remember to make your words mirrored onto the stamp! This is something I didn't even think about until I had already carved my stamps, but it turned out quite fun the wrong way, too :)

Christmas Calendar, Day 1
For the T-shirt fan: Print Tee
How to:
Prewash the t-shirt!
Carve out the desired words from linoleum blocks (I got my blocks&carving tool at Hobby Lobby). Remember to do the words mirrored to get them the right way!
I glued on some scrap wooden pieces I had, which makes stamping a whole lot easier. You could glue on something else that you happen to have at home, a wine bottle cork for example. To make sure the glue holds better, scratch the linoleum block's surface a bit before gluing to make it less smooth.
I put some parchment paper inside my Tee in case any color was going to leak through.
I used a foam brush to apply fabric color onto the stamp. This fabric color needed 4 hours to dry, and the bottle says that you can wash the Tee after 3 days.
LOVE this!!
