Make a geeky tee for yourself or a friend!
recap by Haneen Eltaib, Grade 10, teen blogger
“Geeky Gifts” was a winter break activity selected by the Teen Advisory Board. This event was where teens made their own T-shirts,and gifted them to friends and family (or themselves!) during the holidays. It was pretty messy, but it was fun and the hard work really paid off.
We used pantyhose, Mod Podge, an embroidery hoop, printing ink, and a hair dryer, except for the select few who chose to draw with fabric paint markers.
The Teen Advisory Board requested another event similar to this one in the summer, so if you want to create your own Geeky Shirt, you’ll have the opportunity!
