Comb Prints
Try your hand at printmaking by making these nice prints using hair combs!

Materials Needed:

  • Combs
  • Paper Towels
  • Styrofoam Plate, Meat Tray, or Other Shallow Dish
  • Construction Paper
  • Paint
Instructions:
Fold a paper towel into 4ths and lay it on the bottom of the styrofoam plate, etc. Pour paint into the center of the paper towel to make it into a stamp pad.

Dip the side of the comb into the paint. Dab it around on the paper towel to wipe off excess paint, and then press it onto the paper or other surface to make a unique print.

You can also use fabric paint and make a T-shirt, towels, etc!
