Block Printing Materials

I LOVE teaching block printing and seeing all of the incredible pieces my students make. I also love the way they light up and say, "my [daughter, friend, kids, etc] would love this!" After hearing this a few times I figured it was high time I compiled a list of block printing materials you can use at home to continue to stoke you and your loved ones' creativity.

Drop any questions you have about block printing below!

To make the blocks:

• Rectangular blocks
• Square blocks
• Sticky back foam
• Scissors -- any pair will do, but I like this for more detailed cuts
• X-acto Knife (for getting into any tight quarters)

Paint Supplies:

• Foam brushes
• Paint brushes
• Craft paint
  • option to purchase set
  • option to purchase individual colors

Surfaces: Here are a few ideas to get you started. I recommend printing on cotton or linen fabrics for the best results. I wash and iron everything prior to printing for crisp, clean prints.

• Tea towels
• Tote bags
• Pillow covers
  • don't forget to size up for inserts! 
• Dinner napkins
• Cocktail napkins
• Aprons
• Table runners
