Decorated Garden Gloves Jane Hardenbergh of Jazz-Ups® continues decorating garden items, creating painted garden gloves, picture frames, flowerpots and shirts. Materials:
Cotton garden gloves
Fabric paint in green, red and yellow
Disappearing-ink fabric pen
- Draw wiggly guidelines with a disappearing-ink fabric pen along the top of each finger of the gloves to represent vines or stems.
- Follow along the lines with green fabric paint, squeezing it directly from the bottle (figure A).
- Make leaves by squeezing out a larger amount of paint at an angle to the stem and drawing the tip of the bottle through the paint to extend the end of the leaf outward (figure B).
- Using red fabric paint, create flowers by making five dots like the points of a star. Put a yellow dot in the center (figure C).
Jane has more great ideas too:
- Apply Jazz-Ups in sunflower shapes around the rim of a terra-cotta flowerpot that's been painted with a white base coat. Use green dimensional paint--a thick paint that comes in an applicator-tipped bottle and dries with a raised profile--to add stems and leaves.
- Decorate shirts by outlining pockets and collar with fabric paint, and glue on Jazz-Ups in vegetable shapes. Use Jazz-Ups button covers on the buttons (figure D).
- Apply Jazz-Ups to picture frames and metal watering cans (figure E).
