Stamped Fabric Planner Cover


Hello! Sabrina Alery here with you today to share a tutorial on creating a stamped fabric cover for your back -to-school planner or just your everyday one - adjust your stamp set accordingly. I had fun using one of the six brand new My FirstColorbox stamp sets to create my own fabric blocks.


The cover I am showing you here accommodates an 11" x 9" planner but you can adjust the size of your quilt blocks or the number of blocks you add to make it a perfect fit for whatever size planner you use.


Our Fluid Chalk Inks are excellent for stamping on fabric and chances are, you already have several in your stash!! Just heat set with an iron or heat gun to darken the image and make the ink permanent and waterproof.


And the School mini stamp set contains so many adorable images that are perfect for all your back-to-school projects! There is an apple, pencil, star, school bus, computer, and crayon too. Even though they are intended for kids, the images aren't too childish for you to include in your own stamping projects.


Stamp, stitch, insert your planner and you're ready to go! For complete instructions on recreating a planner cover of your own, please check out the video tutorial on our YouTube channel below:
