Homemade Temporary Tattoos for Kids
- 1). Download free clip art, or, have the kids draw their own designs and scan them with a computer scanner. You can also use the free clip art that comes with your word processing software. Simple images without too much detail make the best temporary tattoos.
- 2). Create a document in your word processing software. Insert your art into the document, adjusting the size to fit on kid's arms, hands and faces. Smaller than 3 inches by 3 inches is best. Fill the page with multiple images or copies of the same image.
- 3). Print the word processing document on tattoo paper and allow the ink to dry completely. Attach a sheet of adhesive (included with the tattoo paper) to the printed sheet of tattoo paper.
- 4). Cut each design from the sheet and follow the directions that came with your tattoo paper to apply the temporary tattoos. Generally, to apply the temporary tattoo, you will peel away the clear backing, place the tattoo on the skin, wet the tattoo paper with a sponge and peel away the paper after 30 seconds.
