What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Wash and dry t-shirt, do not use fabric softener.
2. Cover cutting board with wax paper and place inside the shirt.
3. Lay on a flat surface and smooth out fabric.
4. Decorate shirt with fabric paint, making fireworks designs by drawing lines to form a plus sign or an “x” without intersecting in the center.
5. Use alternating colors for shorter or longer lines in between the first lines you created. Alternate colors for dots at the end of each line.
6. Choose a color and write “USA” at the bottom (we chose Vivid Violet).
7. Carefully lift cutting board with shirt and place it in a safe place where it can remain undisturbed for at least 4-5 hours, overnight is best.
8. Clothing can be washed inside out after 72 hours.
