Paint away!

My daughter’s pre-school requested that each student bring a paint shirt in to keep at school for their craft time. I put this together for her in about 5 minutes. Now she has a personalized creative shirt to wear while she does her artwork. I thought this was a fun easy project that I would share with you. I found a large T-shirt on the clearance rack for $3.00. (I think it was even in the boy’s section) For a project like this the color or size didn’t really matter as long as it was large enough that it could go on over her clothing. I already had some fabric paint at home so that didn’t cost me anything. If you don’t already have some you can find it in any craft section or at a craft store for about a dollar a bottle. They are very easy to use. The tip of the bottle has a fine point and you use it like a pencil. Just shake the paint into the tip before you take the lid off and try to avoid air bubbles. Keep the tip touching the fabric and use the tip to smooth out any blobs. I put a cardboard box lid inside the shirt to help keep it flat and smooth while I painted. Be sure to leave the shirt out to dry flat for a day to be sure th

e paint is set.
