After searching high and low for a polka-dotted fabric that I could use as a backdrop for this Sesame Street Party, I finally decided to make my own. I think it will be a great backdrop that can be used over and over again.
Supplies: 2 Yards White Fabric, 6 bottles fabric paint (we used red, orange, yellow, green, teal, and blue), 6″ circle stamp (I used the the top to a lotion bottle)
Lay the fabric on a flat surface and put newspaper or vinyl underneath so the paint doesn’t run through. I started with the top row and alternated between 2 colors. Because my ‘stamp’ was a plastic circle, it didn’t always give the best coverage, but I didn’t mind the look. You can use a small paint brush to fill in any missing holes if you want your circles to be completely covered. Once one row is done, move on to your next 2 colors below it, alternating again between the two. Continue until you have a large enough backdrop to cover your entire dessert table.
