Young stargazers will surely take a shine to our out-of-this-world design made with simple potato prints.
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| Firm potatoes
Paring knife Marker Dark T-shirt Piece of cardboard cut to fit inside the shirt White fabric paint Several paper plates Glow-in-the-dark fabric paint in a fine-tipped bottle (we used Scribbles Dimensional) | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: paints, T-shirts | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Slice the potatoes in half and draw a celestial shape on
each piece (for precise shapes, sketch them on paper first, use a
stencil, or cut out a template). Use the knife to cut out the
shapes (a parent's job). |
| 2. |  Slip the cardboard under the area of the shirt where your
design will be. Pour white paint on one of the plates and use the
potato shapes to stamp your design. Let this base coat dry for an
hour. |
| 3. |  With the same stamps, repeat step 2 to apply a second coat
(right over the first) with the glow-in-the-dark paints. |
| 4. |  Use the fine tip on the bottle of glow-in-the-dark paint to
outline and add details to each shape. Let the shirt dry
completely before wearing. |
| 5. |  Wear the shirt outside on a starry night, or turn out all
the lights and watch the stars appear indoors. |
