Project Overview

Teens designed their own t-shirt using a combination of stencils, bleach pens, bleach sprays, and markers. The teens made a wide variety of t-shirts with varied results. We worked with Sue Craig from Watonwan County 4-H who helped run all the programs.

Project Details

Three sites: St. James, Madelia, Butterfield. This was the first time we have held a t-shirt design program in Madelia and Butterfield so the program was very fresh for them, many of the attendees have never been to a teen event before, including some at the St. James event.
