Sometimes, no many how many stain removers you try you can’t get a spot out. This is a great trick for hiding them or personalizing one’s clothes with children’s building blocks!
Materials
- Blank t-shirts, pillow cases, aprons etc.
- Fabric paint
- Blocks
- Paint brushes
- Cardboard
- Craft tray
- Shallow tray
Directions
- Don your smock.
- Insert a piece of cardboard into your shirt, bag etc. to protect it from being glued shut with the fabric paint.
- Put approximately a tablespoon of your chosen colours of fabric paint onto your craft tray.
- Carefully paint one side of your shape (we find the painting gives a more even coat that dipping) and then apply it to your chosen surface. Create a design using your shapes.
Here we are, covering up a spot or two on the smock:
While you are working, be sure to enjoy a song or two!
- When you are done, immediately wash your shapes and brushes to prevent the paint from adhering (we keep a few blocks that we only use for these types of activities) and allow your projects to dry overnight or according to the product directions.
- Enjoy your custom made stuff!
- Wouldn’t this make a perfect pillow case for camp or for days when kids are sick?
Purpose
- Using a variety of tools and techniques to exploring painting
- Creating personalized materials
Safety Notes
- Be sure to wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces from the fabric paint!
