Sharpie Markers, Alcohol, and Shirts

The older 4 girls made shirts using colored Sharpies and alcohol.  This is a variation of making tie dye shirts, but it is not as messy.

The basic procedure is to make pictures with Sharpie markers, then drip alcohol on the marker pictures with alcohol. The alcohol dissolves the ink and makes it blur out.  Then we tossed the shirts into the dryer for 15 minutes to set the ink. 

I think Miriam doesn't like the smell of the alcohol!

Art lesson!
