Description

Design or colour a T shirt or Pillow Case (flag) using stencils.
For older sections stencils could be made from lino tiles or potatoes etc.
Use fabric paints and pens to complete.

Resources

T shirt per young person - preferably a plain white one (ASDA Uniform Shop is a great source).
Or a pillow case - make good flags
Stencils - can be made from stiff card
Printing blocks - can be made from lino tiles or potatoes or anything you can think of.
Fabric paints and pens
Cardboard
Clothes Iron to set paints/pens - stop colours running or being washed out on the first wash.

Instructions

Beavers - provide a stencil for everyone to use OR if time is short leaders use the stencil to draw the outline onto the t-shirts in advance.
Cubs - to think of a design for their own T shirt / flag. Make a number of printing blocks - can be themed based - from lino tiles (or whatever you chose).
Ideally the stencils and/or print blocks need to be made beforehand, perhaps at the previous meeting.
Place cardboard inside T shirt / pillow case to stop piants coming through to back.
Apply paint to print blocks and press onto T shirt/pillow case. If using a stencil, paint in the exposed parts of the stencil.
Repeat until design complete.
Use pens for lettering (easier) or use letter stencils.
Allow fabric paint to dry for at least 24 hours then iron over design to fix.
