| Recipe
T
- s h i r t a r t
is very much an individual display of imagination. There
are no set rules to create a fabulous t-shirt
design.
Offer
the kids a wide selection of colour and texture and let them
loose to express themselves. Children can draw freehand, use
stencils or draw over a template placed inside their t-shirt if
they wish.

 Prepare
your craft party area in advance. Cover your table with a
plastic table cover for protection. Lay out fabric paints (either
the jars or pour paints into palettes), fabric pens, 3D pens and
stencils along the centre of the table so all the children can
reach.
Now
for the glitzy bit, place some saucers or colourful little bowls
of fun fabric
embellishments e.g. Jazzy Jewels, Fabby Fabrics, Butterfly Blitz
and Ribbon Riot on the table too. This will help the
kids plan their designs before they start.
You will also need some paint brushes, water pots and some
kitchen roll for the kids to dry their brushes with when
changing colours.
Place a t-shirt ready for each child on the table and
you're good to go

Apply
Dylon Fabric Paint with a paint brush or a sponge for
different textured looks. We offer a funky bright
selection of paints all of which can be mixed to create even
more colours or add a bit of white fabric paint to make
paler shades. |
 |
Berol
Fabric Marker Pens in a pack of 12 colours. Easy
to use, just like a felt tip pen. Great for drawing
and writing, but can also be used for colouring small
areas.
We
love them! |
|
When
the kids have finished painting, they can add some sparkling
jewels or funky fabric embellishments, cut up some ribbons etc
and add them using fabric glue.
These little bits make all the difference and can turn their
t-shirts into unique art! |
| |
|
Fixing
the t-shirts doesn't need to be done straight away or indeed
at the party. Leave the t-shirts to dry flat. The
kids can take them home at the end of the party and parents
can fix them the next day when they are completely dry.
Fixing instructions and tips are included with all t-shirt
painting orders. |

a r t y T h e m e s
T-shirt painting is a great idea for themed parties and
events, kids can create fantastic pictures on their t-shirts e.g.
Under the Sea Party - dolphins,
turtles, fish, sharks, octopus, mermaids, submarines, seahorses.
Space Party - rockets, aliens, planets, stars, space ships.
Football Party - favourite team, favourite player, team
colours. Superhero party - Power Rangers, Spiderman, The
Hulk, X-Men, Fantastic Four
Fairy Party - draw beautiful fairies and flowers
Another
idea is to
pre-print some templates on paper for the kids to place inside
their t-shirts and draw over with the fabric marker pens
and then paint inside the lines. They can then add their
own effects around the main drawing. E.g.
a Disney Party where the kids can draw and paint their favourite
characters like Tigger.
