Group Artwork Teatowel Artwork Tips and Ordering Information
If you are using your own paper, follow these instructions carefully.

Group Picture Artwork

1. The full-colour print area of our group tea towel is A3 sized, which is the same as two A4 sheets, taped together up the long edges.
You will need two A3 sheets, one as the master template, the other to cut into "mini" templates.

2. Divide one sheet into the number of children taking part, plus one for your group logo and date. (eg. if you have 22 children taking part, you will need 23 mini templates. The easiest division here is 24, which gives 7cm squares of paper.)

3. Either fold the A3 and cut along the fold lines, or draw a faint pencil grid and cut along the lines. Try and remove any pencil lines from the templates before mounting them on the master sheet.
When each child has completed a picture by using as many bright, bold colours as possible, arrange the pictures on the master template. When you are satisfied with your layout, stick the pictures down firmly with a glue stick. Add your logo and any wording. If there are any blank spaces, you can fill them with gummed paper stars or whatever.

4. On the reverse of the sheet, in pencil, write the group name, address, phone contact details and list of requirements.

Certain tea towels need the artwork to be a certain way round - "Calendar" tea towel artwork must be landscape orientation, "Leavers" towels require portrait orientation. All the rest of the tea towel designs are suitable for either orientation.

If you would like just one sample tea towel to display and take orders, we will print a one-off for £6 including VAT and delivery, but you must enclose a cheque, payable to All My Own Work Ltd with your order.

Group Handprint Artwork

If you have only a few children taking part (probably up to 10, depending on the size of their hands) please follow the instructions for "Group Picture Artwork".
For larger groups, please follow these instructions:
Using plain white paper - not cream or off-white - divide an A4 sheet into quarters to give A6 pieces of paper. Using as much bright, bold colour as possible, put each child's handprint on a piece of the paper and add the name in big, bold letters. If you wish to typeset the names on a computer and cut them out to mount with the handprints, please make sure that you cut off any grid lines - they are extremely difficult to remove once the names have been stuck down!
When all the handprints are finished, make a note of how many there are and send them to us, along with your logo and any wording you may require. Please let us have the delivery address, contact phone number and the order requirements.
We will reduce the handprints as necessary and "lay up" the design.

If you would like a one-off sample to display and take orders, please enclose a cheque, payable to All My Own Work Ltd, for £6 with your artwork.

You would normally receive your tea towels within a week, but please allow us a little longer during the Christmas period.
