Last year me and my little guy made flag t-shirts for him and his big brother.
These Patriotic shirts turned out perfect for Memorial Day, Flag Day, & Independence Day.
My teen still wears his regularly however my tot has grown a few sizes since last summer and with a Marine Boot Camp Graduation in our near future as well as Flag Day and Independence Day we made him a new one this week that fits.
To create this Flag T-shirt you will need five items …
*White T-Shirt *Blue Fabric Paint *Red Fabric Paint *Paint Brush *Small Hand
Instructions: Prewash t-shirt; Place a piece of cardboard inside the t-shirt so that the paint does not bleed through to the back of the shirt; Start with the blue hand print before adding the red stripes with a paint brush; Allow time to dry before wearing and washing. Wear with Pride.
And one more suggested instruction: if your little one is anything like mine I recommend you pull out an old t-shirt from the Goodwill box in the Garage and some washable paints to paint while you work on the red stripes. My tot loved every minute of painting a t-shirt “just like Momma” and was extremely proud of his finished product.
Cute, right?
