Have you ever wanted to make a rubber stamp from a digital image or text? It’s easy to mimic the look of a rubber stamp using your inkjet printer. Simply print your image or text onto a smooth, non-absorbent paper and transfer onto a receiving surface while the ink is still wet.

Run-of-the-mill tattoo designs are easy to fake and therefore easy to doubt. But forging a believably atrocious design with some inkjet tattoo paper could definitely turn some heads.

I loved temporary tattoos as a kid, but I can't imagine how much more I would have loved them if I could design my own! Print your own temporary tattoos on this printer paper.

Betty Turbo sells a really nice variety of hand-printed greeting cards and prints--I love the pop-culture inspired ones especially, like the funny LOST card above, and the print below featuring Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Anthony Stewart Head (aka "Giles"). Betty Turbo Prints and Cards

PEEPS® Printed Canvas Tote

Use PEEPS and fabric paints to turn blank canvas totes into Easter basket-bags printed with pink, yellow, and blue Bunnies. Or make trick-or-treat bags printed with glow-in-the-dark Ghosts. Cheaptotes.com is a great resource for natural or colored cotton totes. If you want to expand your choices of paint colors, you can make acrylic paint suitable for printing on fabrics by mixing it with fabric paint medium, about 1 part fabric medium to 2 parts paint.

You will need:

• Pencil and paper


• PEEPS®, any color or shape


• Cotton tote bag, prewashed and ironed


• 1 piece cardboard, small enough to fit inside tote but large enough to cover your entire design


• Fabric paint, any and as many colors as you like


• Shallow dish(es) or bowl(s)


• Small paintbrush (optional)

1. Using the paper and pencil, make a sketch ahead of time to plan your print design.
2. Separate the PEEPS carefully to preserve their shape and choose the ones you’ll use for making prints.
3. Place the tote bag on a flat surface and insert the cardboard inside to keep the paint from soaking through.
4. Pour the fabric paint into a shallow dish, or dishes if using multiple colors.


5. Dip the front side of one of your PEEPS in paint to coat. Place it, paint side down, onto the tote and press gently. Lift off carefully. Touch up the print with the paintbrush, if necessary.
6. Repeat the process as desired. The PEEPS should each make several prints.
7. Let the tote dry for 24 hours before using.

A while back, The Wurst Gallery in Portland held a great show called We Heart Gocco, which centered on artwork created with the much-beloved Japanese tabletop screenprinting device. It's so impressive seeing how different artists have utilized the gadget's capabilities. Amazingly enough, you can still nab some of the prints online at the gallery's website--what a great way to grab some fun and affordable artwork from some of today's coolest artists. Here are two examples of the 14 prints available, "Little Love" by Mizna Wada (above) and "Love with a Needle" by Evan B. Harris (below). Link.

With no set up charges, a user-friendly interface and the option for single units and short-runs it seems they've mastered the art of on-demand printing. Using a "Direct to garment" printing method, in which graphics are literally printed directly onto the tees, Bountee offers unlimited numbers of colors, gradient printing and a turn around time that a traditional screenprinter would scowl at! If you like what you see at their website feel free to use the code "lovecoolhunting" at checkout for 15% off your order.

Silk-screening is a great way to personalize 
your gear. It's a very basic process that has unlimited outcomes. One of the easiest ways to get a design on almost any surface is to use the photo emulsion process. Once you've made the screen, it's ready to print time and time again. Follow along as I walk my colleague Sara Huston through the process of transferring our design to 
a screen, and printing it on a laptop bag.
