My friend designed this project for her daughter's girl scout troupe. I think it is such a great project.
•
TAP® Transfer Artist Paper
• Plain tee shirt – white or light color
• Scraps of pretty patterned papers
• Black marker, pencil
• White paper, white card stock
• Glue stick, scissors, Exacto® blade
• All-in-one inkjet printer/copier
• Firm ironing surface and iron
- Use a black marker to draw a thick outline of a pumpkin with 4 segments on white cardstock
- Copy the pumpkin on to white paper to make a master copy
- Use an Exacto blade to trim out the inside of each section of the pumpkin on cardstock to create a stencil
- Use the stencil to mark and cut out scrap papers to fit inside each section – use a different patterned paper for each section to make it scrappy, and don’t forget the stem!
- Glue each of your trimmed scraps onto your master copy
- Load a sheet of TAP into your inkjet printer and copy your scrappy pumpkin on to the TAP, following package instructions
- Trim your pumpkin out of the TAP sheet and place it image-side-down on to your tee shirt
- Press the image on to your shirt with your iron, following the TAP package instructions
- If desired, you can also print out some Halloween words on to TAP to go with your pumpkin – just be sure to reverse the words on your computer before printing them out
