Fun
This is a fun project. You just need to remember to use fabric markers or fabric dyes for paint. Puffy paint and latexy fsbric paints are inappropriate. This IS a serious situation but, children (and adults) should be encouraged to express themselves and have fun.

Cute idea
I am going to show this to my nieces daughter who loves art❣️ Don’t see why you couldn’t use fabric markers and glitter glue, etc. and go to town!

Less than zero No Pattern
Really no dimensions or drawing....I thought the paint was a bad idea but who was the designer?

Paint impedes breathing
This project is not well thought out. I agree with the previous review. Paint will clog the weave in the cloth and make breathing difficult.

How is this a good idea
The paint would hamper all breathability. It's hard enough trying to breathe through three or four layers of fabric.
