Looky, looky! My daughter has been bugging me all week to make these t-shirts. First we had to find the paint. Then I made the mistake of buying t-shirts with pockets. Didn't realize it until the next time I was at Walmart and saw the ones without pockets! Then we were waiting on DH to bring home his little exacto blade with the handle. Still hasn't happened but I managed to cut most of it out with my rotary cutter. The kids each chose their own design and then helped me paint it. I had to use my heavy duty wax paper to make the stencil. We also put a piece on the inside so the paint wouldn't seep through to the back.I think they turned out really cute. I have several ideas floating around in my head. Hhhmmmm.....
Ooopps - forgot to tell you where you could find some directions. I first saw it done on Quilter's Buzz - and she refers you Craftster.org. Please share pictures if you try this for yourself.
How cute - and what fun!
