What
You Need
How
To Make It Apple printing is always fun: there are two very different prints you can get by cutting apples in half through the middle OR from the top to bottom.
You
can cut them in half through the stem, dip them in red and green paint, and
make a very nice-looking collage of apple shapes. Cutting them through the
middle makes a circle stamp with a star in the middle.
To paint on a t-shirt or tote, put a thick layer of paper inside the shirt/tote to prevent the paint from bleeding through to the back of the fabric.
An easy and very effective project is to decorate a plain tote with apple stamps cut from top to bottom (making an apple shape) in a horizontal line around the tote.
You can make a wreath by using two colors of green paint and apples cut through the middle (to make circles with 'star' centers). Then take a sponge, cut a triangle (for 1/2 of the bow) and dip it into red paint - add the bow. To make dark green paint, add a little black paint at a time to some green paint.
You
can also make a fun gift for a parent, grandparent or caregiver by brushing the
paint onto the children's hands and decorating the shirt or tote with those
special handprints.
