Make Your Own Tartan Craft

This very messy craft gives children an idea of how tartan patterns are
formed. If you are doing this as a group activity, provide a large collection of
ribbons and fabric and you will be surprised how many different variations of
tartan you will get!
You will need:
Fabric
Ribbons
Fabric glue
Instructions:
Cut 3 or 4 lengths of ribbon the same length as your fabric and lots of pieces
the length of the fabric width.
Glue the long pieces of ribbon along the length of the fabric.
Quickly glue the shorter pieces along the width weaving in and out of the
longer pieces. The ribbons will be movable until the glue dries, so you will
have to be fairly quick.
When your fabric is dry trim any overhanging ribbons.

Why not use your tartan to make your teddy his very own kilt?
