A great gift for Mother’s Day is always something that is involves the mom’s or grandmother’s kids or grandkids. This B-Crafty idea fits the bill and only uses 3 materials.
Issue #74
Occasion: Mother’s Day
Category: Gift
Materials Needed:
- Cotton Tea Towel (preferred towel for this craft is white with window pane design)
- Fabric paint (red paint for ladybugs)
- Ultra fine point Black Sharpie
Instructions:
- Paint the fabric paint on the thumb of mom’s child or grandmother’s grandchild
- Position their painted thumb over the towel where you want to print and press the thumb gently on to the towel. Repeat as needed.
- When the paint dries, add the antennae and the spots on the ladybug. Also add the child’s first name and the year you printed their thumb.
B-Crafty Tip: Here is a chart of other designs you can make using a child’s thumbprints.
B-Crafty Tip: This is a great keepsake as evidenced by the fact that that B-Crafty still has the ones she made over 25 years ago.
