Ingredients

  • White or tan teatowel - we went with tan as I liked the look of the orange pain on it.
  • Orange and green fabric paint Paper plate
  • Foam paint brush
  • Thin tip paint brush

Instructions

  • Take your paper plate and squirt the orange paint on it.
  • Fold you towel how you want it to be when you hang it on the stove bar, and then turn it upside down. You want the hand prints to be going in the opposite direction of how you want it to hang because it is much easier then turning a kids hand in different directions.
  • With your foam brush  paint your child’s hand with the orange paint or you can let them stick their full hand into it. Depending on how old your kiddo is do which ever one works for you. Then press their hand on the towel.
  • Do this for each pumpkin you want on the towel. We did 2 pumpkins, but depending on the size of your kids hand you will want to put 1-3 handprint pumpkins on the towel.
  • If you want to make the orange brighter, after your kids have done their handprints you can go over the pumpkin handprint with more orange paint.
  • Using your thin paint brush and green paint, paint the pumpkin stem at the top.
  • If you want to add the date to the bottom of the towel, use the thin black paint brush to put the date on the bottom.
  • Allow the paint to completely dry before use.
  • Follow the directions on your fabric paint when washing your towels.
