An Apple for the Teacher – Print your own fabric bags 4

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.
