If you're in need of something to do read my posts and post comments to let me know if you had fun with the activity. Thank all of you for reading my blog!

Artsy Fashion

If your looking for a fun craft for a birthday party, for a holiday, or whenever, then I have somethings for you.
Have the kids decorate t-shirts or aprons with puffy paint, iron on decals, stickers, and/or fabric spray paint and stencils.
Here's how: 
  1. lay the t-shirt or apron out flat
  2. write and draw things with puffy paint
  3. place a fabric stencil on top of the apron or t-shirt
  4. Use the fabric spray paint and go over the stencil with it
  5. Place the iron ons on the apron or t-shirt and go over them with an iron
You could also tie dye your shirt or apron.
Here's one way: 
  1. lay the shirt down on the table or flat surface
  2. take a wooden dowel 
  3. place the end of it in the middle of the shirt 
  4. press firmly down on dowel and twist so the shirt goes around it
  5. once the t-shirt is wrapped all the way around the dowel (so it looks like a cinnamon role) use several rubber bands and wrap them around the t-shirt the pattern should look like a sliced pizza.
  6. Use a dropper full of die and squeeze it in a circular motion around the shirt, use different colors (make sure you do both sides)
  7. Let the shirt sit over night, then open it up 
  8. Wash it in cold water then dry it in the dryer
You could also have kids decorate a jewelry box. Have them paint it with Crayola paint and add stickers.
