-
Wrap the plastic bag around the cardboard and slip it inside the shirt. Then create the stamps by cutting the tip of each carrot into a square or triangle shape (a parent's job).
-
Use the paper and pencil to experiment with a few designs. It's best to stick with shapes that aren't too intricate, like a broad-leaved flower or a flag. When the pattern is chosen, re-sketch it on the shirt.
-
Pour fabric paint onto the plastic plates and dip the carrot tips into the paint. Use them to print a series of squares and triangles to fill in the sketched design. -
To finish, heat-set the finished design and launder the shirt according to the paint manufacturer's directions.
