Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / October 2007looking for craft idea
I have a king size cotton sheet with a high thread count in very dark gray color. Is there an easy way to decorate/paint it? I want my 4 and 3 year olds to help me so it has to be very easy. Ideally I'm thinking of stamping in a fleur de lis or some such design using a gold paint. It has to be washable. I've never done anything like this. Any ideas?

Any ideas? you will need to use a waterproof paint, something acrylic based. this means that it will NOT easily come off anything the kids get it on besides the sheet. with that caveat, it sounds like fun. you should be able to find foam stamps in 3-6" sizes at most craft stores & also acrylic paints. if there aren't any metallics in the department devoted to decorating t-shirts & woodenware, look in the regular artist paints department. you can thin the tube paints down a bit to make them work well on fabric. also, you can't move the sheet until the paint dries & you will have to stamp on a hard surface, so you can't just hang it on a line to stamp. it won't work. BTW, if you like doing craft projects with the kids there's a new magazine out called Living Crafts. it's heavily based on Waldorf principles, but i liked the premier issue. i found it yesterday at Borders. lee > janes...@gmail.com wrote innews:1193687460.168125.62430@57g2000hsv.googlegroups.com: > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > yesterday at Borders. > lee Thanks for the tips. This is the kind of info I'm looking for. I'm not artistic. I can copy sometimes but never create anything out of the blue. thanks for the magazine suggestion. |
