Leaf Print T-Shirts

Materials:

Clean, poly-cotton blend T-shirt, acrylic paints, paintbrush, piece of cardboard, wax paper, paper towels

Directions:

Place the shirt on a clean, flat surface; then slide the cardboard between the front and back of the shirt to keep paint from soaking through. Place a leaf on a sheet of wax paper and coat it with a thin layer of paint. Make sure your fingers are clean; then carefully lift the painted leaf up and place it (painted side down) on a shirt. Cover the leaf with paper towel and press it down. Lift the leaf straight off the shirt. Make as many more leaf prints as you would like; then hang the shirt to dry.
