Tips and Tricks

  • If the garland is to be used outdoors, it is best to fix the color to the fabric. To do this, iron the fabric from the front through a thin cloth at cotton temperature for 3 minutes (without steam) or fix it in the oven for 8 minutes at 150°C. The T-shirt paint is then washable at up to 60°C and weatherproof.

How it is done:

  • Cover the work area and lay out the materials. Cut or tear a piece of fabric into several pieces (e.g., 20 x 50 cm).
  • Paint one side of both ends of the fabric pieces with a pirate motif of your choice using Marabu KiDS T-Shirt paint.
  • After painting, allow the paint to dry thoroughly.
  • Once everything is dry, the pieces of wood can be tied to a string. It is best to tie them so that the painted surfaces face downwards/outwards.
  • Then decorate the garland in the kids' room.
