We love a good DIY. Okay, only sometimes actually. There are some things that should be left to the pros. We love the hand-made look...but in a well-styled way. Enter Darby Smart, the brand new purveyor of custom DIY kits created by various designers to provide you with everything you need to complete just one specific project. We're loving them as a resource for fun, if slightly lazy, craft nights with your friends (get everyone a kit and you've got everything you need!) or for scratching that DIY itch without getting tangled up in several ideas at the art store. We've all been there: "I want to weave a dream catcher...but maybe with an art canvas in it that I'll paint and tie in...and maybe there will be an aromatherapy element..." -- Darby Smart kits help to streamline those creative inklings and bring you into a happily productive crafting place quickly. This block-printing kit is one of our favorite projects on the site. Whether for a table runner, an apron, or an entire tablecloth, we can imagine endless versions of these block-printed fabrics. Pick a favorite pattern and cut your own stamps using the directions below, then hone your skills by creating a second cutting and a new stamp for your next project. We love the idea of this natural fabric with block-prints in silver or gold. Take notes from Darby Smart's tutorial below, then try to free-wheel it at home, or enter to win the Block Printing Starter Set we're giving away at the end of this story!
