Why

This craft is fit to a tee! Make your own cool designs on paper T-shirts with a Crayola Color Wonder™ Sprayer.

Steps

  1. 1. With Crayola Scissors, cut Crayola Color Wonder™ paper in the shape of a T-shirt. Look at your T-shirts for inspiration. Make V-necks, long sleeves, or whatever styles you like!
  2. 2. Follow the directions on the package to decorate the paper T-shirt with your Crayola Color Wonder Sprayer. You can place items such as craft sticks on the paper to create stripes. Or use buttons or coins to make polka dots. Create tie-dyed effects by using different colors. Make jazzy ethnic designs. Use your imagination!
  3. 3. Use Color Wonder™ Fingerpaints and Markers to add your style to the sprayer art. Be your own fashion designer! Why not make a whole collection? Use the shirts as cards for friends. Decorate your locker. What else could you do with these cool T-shirts?
