Poinsettia Paint Project
 
This project can either be painted onto fabric or watercolor paper. If you paint iton to watercolor paper, take a picture, you can then print it on to iron-ontransfer paper for your table runner. The image could then be printed for otherdecorative items such as aprons, greeting cards, candle wraps . . . thepossibilities are endless!This photo tutorial is for watercolor paper which affords a little more leeway for
beginning artists. Your artwork will not look like mine, but that’s okay. Make it
your own and have fun!
