Nothing says America like a flag so here is an idea of how to combine your patriotism with a keepsake.
Materials needed:
- Plain white t-shirt
- Fabric paint in red and blue
- Glow in the dark paint (optional)
- Rectangular piece of cardboard
- Clear packing tape
- Foam brushes
- Wash and dry t-shirts to remove any sizing.
- Place cardboard inside t-shirt and fold sides of t-shirt in and bottom up. Secure with clear packing tape to make it tight for easier painting.
- Start by coating child's hand with blue fabric paint (make sure it is pretty wet)
- Press hand onto upper left hand corner of t-shirt where the stars would be on an American flag.
- Have child wash hand and continue with stripes around the hand print.
- You can add stars or dots with the glow in the dark paint. We added 50!
- Let dry and have fun!
