Hi everybody! Happy Tuesday! 😀

This review was provided by one of my sweet friends, who completed + wrote up her opinion on this kit, (which also happened to be her 1st time tile block printing!) - so this review is truly from a 1st timer's perspective, in case any of you would like to try your hand at tile block printing as well! 😉

Here's my sweet friends review (written in her own words) for you all! 😊

"This was fun, but messy! The video was well done and the instructions were clear and easy to follow.

I enjoyed drawing the template, and especially enjoyed carving out the rubber stamp. 

There were a few challenging points while trying to get the inked pad in the correct place, but in the end it worked out nicely. At first I was concerned that some of the ink wasn't transferring as well as other areas, but when my family saw it, they liked that it had a distressed look. 

The biggest downside to this type of craft is the fabric ink. While hands and surfaces clean up easily with water, the odor is quite strong and long-lasting. I had to love the scarf to the garage to dry as the fumes were giving me headaches. It took a week to fully set the ink, and after it was washed, the paint smell went away.

I would like to try this again with different colors or gradients (such as diagonal, as shown in the tutorial).

Thumbs up for this kit!"
