Painted Silk Banners

Another silk painting project to try...

These banners were created by students in grades one through eight for an all-school assembly. The theme was "New Life" and Butterflies for Spring.

1. The drawing was transferred on silk with Pentel® Pastel Fabric Dye Sticks. Lines were ironed with a piece of drawing paper on top to protect the iron.


2. Dyna-Flow® Silk Dyes were painted in small sections to give more students a chance to participate.

3. A hem was sewn at the top and bottom of the banner. Sides were torn in a straight line. A dowel rod was inserted in the top hem while the bottom edge hung loose. There were four different color palettes in all. Happy Spring!!
