A couple of months ago we decided it was high time to get a little creative! My sister and her two children and my brother and his son were at my parents for a visit. So we got all our chilluns' together and we decorated some T-shirts. The first step in this decorated T-shirt process was to mix flour and water together until it was the consistency of a soft frosting. I put the goo into squeezable bottles and let the kids go crazy! Some used stencils to trace around, others just drizzled and doodled. Here's Jacob's floured "T".
Next we set them out on the deck to bake in the sun for a couple of hours.
The next morning we sprayed the shirts with fabric paint. Once again setting them out to dry. When the paint was dry, everyone sat down to do the labor intensive part- pick off the baked on flour. It took a little while, but it was worth it. We got some really cool looking shirts!
Can you tell it was just a bit bright out! :)
*The boys entered their T-shirts in 4-H at out county fair this week. Isaac got an Honarable Mention and they all recieved A's!
Nice job! I feel the need to do some crafty things...I think Savannah would love it. Did Lauren get to help out too?
ReplyDeleteYep! Lauren drizzled her design on with just a bit of help from me. The painting I did. She loves her shirt and wears it whenever she can!
