DIY - Painting on Fabrics

Hi there!
So recently I'm trying to paint on fabrics :)
I was inspired by many blogers and found out there are three ways to make your own pattern:
1. Paint it with a paintbrush (a very time consuming work...)
2. Use inkodye - a fabric paint who "develops and fixes its color permanently with exposure to sunlight" - meaning, you can paint the fabric with it and than only the parts you expose to the sun are being painted (you can cut patterns from paper and put it on the fabric so it's not exposed to the sun and then after the paint develops on the other parts you wash the fabric and you get your pattern...)
3. make stamps from linoleum.

(Un?)fortunately I only had the first option - so here are the results (credit to my sister who helped draw some horses on the first fabric... ♥ ) :








From this fabric I'm making a pencil case (when I'm done I will upload some photos)
but what should I do with this one?





Thanks for reading! I would love to see your comments/questions!! (the more the merrier)
