The kiddo makes his own crafts

It's only a couple of days before the kiddo's birthday, and we stumbled across this awesome Free School Holiday activity at the local shopping centre

Included free tshirt, assistance and all materials. (see the photos at the bottom of the post for instructions).

First he chose the design he wanted, so he knew how to tie up the string, then he chose the colours.

He worked on it, all on his own.

I am  fondly reminded of all the dyeing workshops we did around the year 2000 following instructions in a copy of Australian Patchwork and Quilting, on how to create the colour wheel in fat quarters.  We created 24 different colours, dying 24 fat quarters of washed cotton or calico. I really feel I have more to do in that field.

It's amazing that this was a free activity!
