2. Gifts: It may take a little practice before you are comfortable giving your work away (then again, you may just be a natural!) but nothing shows you really care more than a gift you put your heart into. A silk painted item can be the gift that you will still see your friend using years down the road.

3. Camp Activities: Silk painting makes for a great arts & crafts session at camp. It takes a little longer than a tie-dye activity but, if your campers are especially crafty or looking to make something a little more unique, learning to silk paint could be a day they will never forget.
