Create a Patriotic Tee Shirt
Materials Needed
-
cotton or
cotton-blend sleeveless T-shirt
-
red and blue
fabric paints
-
foam paint brush
-
heavy aluminum
foil or shirt size cardboard
Prewash and iron the
T-shirt. Fold the T-shirt in half lengthwise to find the center; mark
with tape. Place foil or cardboard inside the shirt to stiffen the
fabric and protect the back from paint leaking. Smooth the front of the
shirt flat.
Place your child's
left hand in the blue fabric paint and place on the upper left side of
the shirt. Next, to create the stripes there are two options:
1. Mom can paint the red stripes using a foam brush 2. The kids can make
a stripe out of thumb prints. If you decide on this option you may want
to draw lines with a pencil as a guide.
