Start with a t-shirt or pillowcase and you will have a stunning project in 2 hours.I also recommend hand washing the first time as some of the paint may still wash out. Set the paint. To set the paint, place the fabric in the dryer on high for 1 hour.Don’t the dandelion leaf prints look like fish? Remove leaves. When the fabric is completely dry, peel off the leaves and flowers and watch the magical prints appear.If it is really hot, it helps to mist the fabric during the first 30 minutes to an hour. Place in the sun. Leave the fabric out in the sun for 1 to 2 hours.The more contact with the fabric, the sharper the lines will be in the end. Press the leaves and flowers. As soon as you are done painting, press the leaves and flowers top side down onto the painted fabric, making sure the edges of the leaves and flowers lie flat. Otherwise, the results will be rather muddy looking because little hands often can’t resist mixing all the colors together. When working with young children it is best to only use one or two colors at a time.
