For this week's fast craft, all you need is a flower, a hammer, and a piece of cotton fabric. You can use a scrap piece of fabric or how about using this technique to decorate a pillowcase or handkerchief?Start out by gathering a colorful flower or two. You can leave on the leaves too if you like. Place them on a non-porous surface (you can use wax paper or foil). Place the fabric over the flowers and then start hitting them with the hammer! Be careful to keep you fingers out of the way. It is easiest to get a good print if you tape down the fabric. You may also want to tape down the wax paper or foil. You can learn more about this craft by reading this tutorial.
I hope you enjoy this fast craft. If you have a fun, fast craft to share, please take a moment to submit it using this simple form.
