ArtPalooza week- day 4 - Simple Batiking {tutorial} - shirt design

Instead of using the traditional batiking mediums with wax and dye, we are using acrylic paint & glue- super easy, little mess! I adapted this project from pinkandgreenmama.

Here's another fun art project that my amazing art student "K" (14 yrs) painted on a T-shirt.

Simple Batik on shirts {Tutorial}:

      Items Needed:

• Elmer's Clear Glue
• shirt or desired material
• acrylic or t-shirt paint 
• paint brushes
• pencil
• cardboard
• wide tape

•  Tape the front of your shirt to a large piece of cardboard so the paint doesn't bleed through to the other side-  helps to stay in one place when you're drawing on it.
• Draw with pencil your design and then outline with the clear glue (cotton will soak in the glue).
• Let dry overnight.

•  Paint on top of the glue, if you don't want to miss any areas- it will wash away later. The pencil will wash off also.

•  Take the shirt off of the cardboard and soak with warm water in the sink for 30+ minutes. Gently rub away the glue.
