Whittle the tips of carrots into squares or triangles, and you've got the perfect implements for printing T-shirt mosaics.
Materials
- Plastic bag
- Cardboard
- Prewashed T-shirt
- Carrots
- Paring knife
- Paper
- Pencil
- Fabric paint
- Plastic plates
Instructions
1. Wrap the plastic bag around the cardboard and slip it inside the shirt. Then create the stamps by cutting the tip of each carrot into a square or triangle shape (a parent's job).
2. Use the paper and pencil to experiment with a few designs. It's best to stick with shapes that aren't too intricate, like a broad-leaved flower or a flag. When the pattern is chosen, re-sketch it on the shirt.
3. Pour fabric paint onto the plastic plates and dip the carrot tips into the paint. Use them to print a series of squares and triangles to fill in the sketched design.
4. To finish, heat-set the finished design and launder the shirt according to the paint manufacturer's directions.
