Batik
Supplies: 100% cotton t-shirt square, paper, black marker, un-washable tempera paint, and washable Elmers glue (clear).
I drew out my design on a piece of paper with black marker and then using Elmers glue I traced my design onto my t-shirt. (It helps if you iron the fabric so its flat.) When the Elmers glue was dry I then painted on my fabric the colors I wanted. When the paint was dry I used warm water and washed out all the glue rubbing it off with my fingers. Some of the dye came out, so be sure to put a nice amount on. Where the glue had been was left white. The process was super fun, and I like how the design and color remind me of spring.
