CRAFT: Hand printed tea towels

🌿 Pot one, print one, give one, keep one 🌿
Create something simply beautiful with this delightful project
from Audrey Fitzjohn.
You will need:
⚪ White tea towel
⚪ Black fabric paint
⚪ Paintbrush
⚪ Paper
⚪ Leaves
Method:
1. Gather a few fresh leaves during your next walk.
2. Place your tea towel flat on a smooth surface. On a piece of paper and using the black fabric paint, thoroughly paint each leaf on their underside with a paintbrush.
3. Carefully place the leaf on your tea towel, painted side against the fabric. Place a clean piece of paper on top of the leaf and gently press down so as to make a print on your tea towel.
4. Carefully remove the piece of paper and lift the leaf off the tea towel. Repeat to create a pattern.
