Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Anyone have periodic table fabric?

I've been searching online, but so far I haven't found any cloth with the periodic table for a pattern. Found one with a periodic table of food, but no real ones. I can't believe they haven't made it at some point. Anyone have some?

Oh, I also found a cool site where you can upload a design and have your own pattern of fabric made, and I may resort to that, but it's a bit more expensive than I had in mind for right now. Spoonflower, it's called, in case anyone is interested in that.

I actually think I have seen something like this. Let me think about it and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I haven't seen it but my mom is the quilting queen. If it's out there she will find it! I will give her the task tonight and keep you posted.

I saw this:

I tried to google it for you. �E-how suggested just drawing your own with magic marker http://www.ehow.com/how_2187720_periodic-table-pillowcase.html. �They also said you could use an iron on transfer, but I googled that and didn't see one. �This site says you can make iron on transfers from blanks using just an ink jet printer (maybe kinkos can do it for you) for $10 plus the cost of printing. �http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ed082p517
Googling gave me this:�

She has that print but in silk.

What are you going to make?

Oh, DS7 found a pair of shoes on Zazzle with the periodic table printed all over them, but they are over $70. We have a Zazzle shop too, and could probably do that design for the base price but that's still over $60. So I was thinking that if I had some fabric in that pattern, I could sew it onto a cheap pair of canvas shoes and get him through several sizes for that price! I could draw it on, I suppose, but the ones he saw were lovely colored ones and it's not quite the same. I just wanted to go cheap, not LOOK cheap.

(Well, I see that the ones I linked to here are actually $65 before shipping, so it must have been a different pair, but same pattern.)
Periodic Table Keds Shoes

Looking at the picture I'd say you could do it with a sharpie marker and it would look store bought. �Just outline it with a pencil and a ruler and use a fine-tip sharpie. �That permanant marker will hold up in the washing machine as long as the shoes will. �

I know what you're saying about the kids shoes being expensive and not lasting. �I'd say my guy outgrows his shoes in about six months. �They want to charge $30 for a decent pair of shoes for a little kids these days that are well made and won't hurt his little feet. �Hooray for Burlington and the 1/2 price rack!

It looks like a simple enough pattern if you have time to copy it and trace it. �I don't think you could use an iron on transfer on shoes.

In case you are wondering, no they will not let you wear those clothes during your chemistry exam.

LOL!

I have been looking for such fabric for years, to make a waistcoat if anyone cares, eventually I found a place that will print your fabric for you and made this

It ain't cheap, but it did make a great waistcoat!
