Stamps are not just for paper...
I was missing my textile roots recently and began to wonder how I could use my favourite Banana Frog stamps in a new way to incorporate some much needed stitching therapy...
So here they are: Our very own Banana Frogs!
After drawing the simple frog pattern onto my fabric I printed blocks of colour onto different parts of the frogs body and then using a permanent ink pad I stamped over the top using the Whirligig, Circus Stories, Retro Baubles, Scribble Flowers and Funky Paisely stamps sets. I added a BF monogram onto the back of one of the frogs using the large Madfont set .
I embellished parts of the stamped detail with hand stitching, sequins and beads to give the froggies a bit of sparkle and glamour!
So if you fancy doing something new, try creating your own patterned fabric with your favourite Banana Frog stamps, we'd love to see your creations!
Have fun!

I went through a phase of making these all the time when my girls were little. They loved them and had armies of little rice filled frogs. I got a bit bored though because I couldn't think a anything new to do with them. Now I can! Thanks - these a so cute.
