Each year we unpack our green shirts for St. Patrick’s Day. This is a way to add a personalized touch to your shirt or in our case, a quick way to cover up a stain from last year’s festivities!
Materials
- T-shirt
- Block (we used a cylinder)
- Heart foam sticker (you may have one left over from Valentine’s Day)
- Fabric paint
- Paint brush
- Fabric pen
- Cardboard
We always find these items helpful too:
- Smock
- Craft tray
Directions
- Insert your cardboard into your shirt. This will prevent your shirt from sticking together from the fabric paint.
- Adhere your heart sticker to your block.
- Don your smock. Our daughter put a small dot of fabric marker to help her have a centre point to align each of the leaves, with the bottom point of the heart touching the dot.
- Paint your sticker with your fabric paint. This ensures an even coat and tends to lend to a more clear shape.
- Use your heart shape to create the leaves of your clovers with the point in the centre. Allow to dry overnight.
- The next day, with your fabric marker, draw the stems of your clovers.
- Remove your cardboard and put on your shirt- we hope it brings you good luck!
Purpose
- Recognizing symbols commonly associated with various cultural celebrations.
Safety Notes
- We suggest that you wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces.
