Printed holiday tea towels make cute presents
By FamilyFun magazine
With the help of a parent, even young kids can make this gift of holiday tea towels that family and friends will treasure for years. You will need:
1 to 2 cucumbers
Newspaper
Cotton towels (we used flour sack towels), washed and ironed
Fabric paint
Paper plates
Fabric pen
1. Wash and dry the cucumbers, then cut them crosswise into 2-inch sections.
2. Lay a piece of newspaper under a towel. Pour a thin layer of fabric paint on a plate.
3. Help your child dip the dry cut end of a cucumber into the paint (use a new section for each color), blot the paint on the newspaper, then firmly press the cucumber onto the towel for about 5 seconds. Repeat. Let the paint dry.
4. With the fabric pen, draw an ornament top. Follow the manufacturer’s directions to set the paint and marker.
