Design your own t-shirt with Batik Tee

Turn a plain t-shirt into a snazzy top to brighten up your gloomy day.

Materials: Cardboard, white cotton t-shirt, 1cup flour, a big bowl, a squeeze bottle, fabric paint, spray bottle.

Method: Cut the cardboard to fit inside the t-shirt. (This will keep the fabric paint from bleeding through later)
Mix the flour with water9it should be of the consistency of mustard)in the bowl, right before you are going to apply it so that it doesn’t become gluey and difficult to apply.
Pour the mixture into the squeeze bottle and then use it to draw a design of your choice, may be a smiley face, or a sun, a cartoon character or any other pattern on the t-shirt.
Leave it outside to dry in the hot sun for a couple of hours until it hardens.
Spray the t-shirt with the fabric paint and let it dry. Alternatively you may use a toothbrush to spray the paint.
Remove the cardboard, then peel off the flour paste to reveal the design.
