Instructions -
1) Using scissors, cut out a tile from the Safeprint.
2) Score out your chosen image onto the face of the tile using a pencil (tracing paper or a stencil can be used to help you do this).
3) Secure your paper to the table using masking tape.
4) Add printing ink to the pallet and use a hard rubber printing roller to spread the ink over the surface of the palette until you have an even coverage on the roller.
5) Use the ‘inked-up’ roller to apply the printing ink onto the face on the tile.
6) Put the tile face down on the paper and use a second, clean roller to apply even pressure to the back of the tile.
7) Lift the tile off the fabric and repeat the process to create another print.
8) Place the finished product in safe place to dry.
