Instead of using the traditional batiking mediums with wax and dye, we are using acrylic paint & glue- super easy, little mess! I adapted this project from pinkandgreenmama.
Here's another fun art project that my amazing art student "K" (14 yrs) painted on a T-shirt.

Simple Batik on shirts {Tutorial}:
Items Needed:
- Elmer's Clear Glue
- shirt or desired material
- acrylic or t-shirt paint
- paint brushes
- pencil
- cardboard
- wide tape
- Tape the front of your shirt to a large piece of cardboard so the paint doesn't bleed through to the other side- helps to stay in one place when you're drawing on it.
- Draw with pencil your design and then outline with the clear glue (cotton will soak in the glue).
- Let dry overnight.
- Paint on top of the glue, if you don't want to miss any areas- it will wash away later. The pencil will wash off also.
- Take the shirt off of the cardboard and soak with warm water in the sink for 30+ minutes. Gently rub away the glue.
