Are you looking for a fun, creative, non-messy project to keep the kids entertained this summer? You will want to check out Tee Juice Markers. For only $14.99 per set, these fabric markers are sure to keep the kids busy and their creative juices flowing without spending an arm and a leg. They can decorate anything from hats to socks and everything in between. Have a shirt with a stain on it? Turn it into a work of art! Decorate a pillow case, book bag or beach towel- the ideas are endless! Since my kids are too young, my dad and I gave TeeJuice markers a whirl and made a couple of shirts for my two year old son. The markers, as you can imagine, were very easy to use. There are no special instructions. Just draw directly onto your fabric. When you are done, set for 2-3 minutes with a hot iron. TeeJuice markers are suitable for almost any type of fabric- natural or synthetic. We tested them out on cotton t-shirts. Here are the results of our creative efforts:
Review & Giveaway: Tee Juice Markers and iDye
Hey, I never claimed to be an artist! My son loves baseball and he was thrilled with his new shirt. My dad is better in the artistic department. My son also loves school buses. This is what he came up with:
As grown adults, we had a lot of fun with this project! The shirts washed up well without much, if any, fading. In use, the markers tugged a little at the fabric while drawing but trying different techniques helped. I liked that the colors didn’t bleed into the fabric but created clean lines.
They are available in fine, medium and juicy, which is a broad point pen. All three sizes of the non-toxic TeeJuice Fabric Markers are available in eight vivid colors: Golden Yellow, Red, Blue, Black, Chocolate Brown, Orange, Purple and Emerald Green. The pens are available individually or in boxed sets. Individual medium point and Fineliner pens retail for $2.99 each. Individual broad tip markers retail for $3.99 each. Boxed sets of medium point or Fineliner Pens have 5 colors but the “Juicy” only has 4 colors and retail for $14.99 per box.
