Video time
30 minutes
- Pencil with a rubber
- Toilet roll core
- Plastic or bamboo fork
- Bottle top, stopper, and elastic bands
- Sponge scourer
- Fabric paint in your choice of colours
- A piece of fabric measuring 35cm wide by 230cm long once hemmed on all four sides
Tip: Choose a natural fabric such as cotton or linen with a medium to heavy weight. Calico also works well. You can use any colour, but if you choose a dark fabric, make sure your fabric paints are opaque, so they show up clearly.
