WHAT YOU'LL NEED

– Pushpins

– Plain silk or cotton scarf

– Piece of cardboard or foam board bigger than the scarf

– Sharpies

– Paintbrush

– Rubbing alcohol

1. Pin the scarf to the cardboard so it's stretched flat. (A parent may need to help iron the scarf first.)

2. Draw lines and patterns on the scarf with the Sharpies, tracing over lines multiple times so there's more dye to bleed.

3. Use a paintbrush to lightly brush over the lines with rubbing alcohol. The colors will start to bleed and spread. Let dry, wrap, and give as a gift!
