Sandpaper Crayon
T-shirts Tutorial
I have a little tutorial for you today. I’m involved in
Mothers of Preschoolers (Mops) at my church and am the Creative Activities Coordinator
(I make up crafts for us to do). It’s so much fun and I’ve found tons of fun
things for us to do! The last craft we made I posted about here. It's a post-it note clipboard. Great for teacher gifts!
This week, we made Sandpaper Crayon T-shirts. We drew them
on onesies to give to our local Women’s Resource Center. It’s a super easy
project, and really fun! If you have older kids, it would definitely be
something they can do.
Anyways, here’s the tutorial.
Step 1: Gather your supplies (onesie or other piece of
clothing, sandpaper, crayons, iron,
paper towel, and a piece of scrap cardboard)
Step 2: Color a picture onto your sandpaper. (This will be
reversed, so remember to draw things backwards from the way you want it to
look!)
Step 3: Place your cardboard INSIDE your onesie. (This will
prevent the crayon from bleeding through.)
Step 4: Place sandpaper with the drawing side down and put
paper towel over top of the sand paper to keep your iron from getting damaged.
Step 5: Iron on
paper towel for about 30 seconds, making sure to cover all of the drawing.
Step 6: Remove the paper towel and the sand paper. You
should have a drawing on your onesie now!
Step 7: Place your paper towel directly onto the onesie and
iron to remove the extra wax.
Step 8: Remove the cardboard from inside and enjoy your new
product!
This is great! I'm going to try it!
