Firstly, I need to say this is not my idea, although we have made printed bags before. The apple idea is pinched from Domestic Goddesque.
Materials:
- Plain bags (Mine we 99p from Hobbycraft)
- Fabric paints (mine were from a set from Yellow Moon, which I have had for seven years)
- Paper plates
- paint brush
- Apple
- Fabric pain pens (again from Yellow Moon)
- A3 paper or card
Method:
- Cut the apple in half and dry with kitchen roll.
- Place a piece of paper or card in the bag to prevent the print going through.
- Pop a blob of paint on to a paper plate (one for each color of paint) and squish the apple in to it and then press on to the bag
- Allow to dry
- Take a fabric pen and add a stalk and leave if required to your apples.
- Allow to dry
- Once dry iron the bags which sets the fabric paint allowing the bag to be washed.
ooooh they are great! what a lovely idea!
I think the teachers will love them. Juliex
