TEST NAP7 Here's how to fashion a Fourth of July T-shirt with a real patriotic flare.
Materials
- Plain T-shirt
- Newspaper
- Glittery fabric paint
- Paper plate
- Pipe cleaners
Instructions
- Start by placing a few sheets of newspaper inside a plain T-shirt.
- Pour one or more colors of glittery fabric paint onto a paper plate.
- Create a stamp (for each color paint) to print fireworks: arrange four pipe cleaners in a bunch, pinch the center, then bend all eight ends over your thumb and twist them together a few times, forming a loop. Spread apart the ends and bend up the tips, as shown.
- To use the stamp, dip it into the paint so that it's evenly coated and press it firmly onto the fabric.
- Once you've finished your design, allow the paint to dry thoroughly, and refer to the paint manufacturer's directions before laundering the shirt.
