i found these awesome amazing flag glasses on ebay for $5.99! i loved them & just had to order them! i think they will totally make the outfit!
so getting to the fun stuff! making my shirt!
first - (obviously!) buy a shirt!
second - get ready! i cover the table in plastic garbage bags to save the table! i elected to keep o out of this fun because he still in the stage where it is hard to pry them open! but I did do his feet on the front trying to make a heart. my placement didn't turn out perfect but at least he was still involved!
& another tip::: keep a brush for each color instead of trying to tell k how to wash and dry after each color! saves a little bit of a headache!
third- figure out your placement - either try it on and make a mark to remind you were you want the handprint to go and where you want your stripes to end! or you can eyeball it! your choice!
fourth - paint a hand and stick it down! and PRESS!!
fifth - i let the hand dry before i started the stripes. i was worried i was going to drag my hand through it and mess it all up! then i started on the red stripes!
i love how it turned out and got to wear it today! it was amazing! and i am one of the few who actually has kids at work so i got to show off a little! :))
it's a great start to an awesome AMERICAN holiday!!
((especially since we are headed to see my grandmother in tennessee!!))
