Handprint/footprint shirt

I have done tshirts with handprints on them (use fabric paint, get help if you have real little ones to help hold them and lock up the dog before hand!). Then you put Worlds/States/whatever's Best Dad/Grandpa etc HANDS DOWN. Another cute one is have the kids walk in paint and then over a t-shirt, do front and back (of course letting it dry in between), then write My kids/grandkids walk all over me !

Personalized Shirts

Supplies:
Shirt (new or used)
Fabric Paint

Have children paint sweatshirts for Mom, Dad, Grandma...anyone! Family members love to wear sweatshirts with tiny hands that say, "Hugs for Grandma From (whoever)" etc.

Last year we made an angel on a sweatshirt by using my daughters foot as the angel's body (the heel would end up being the angel's head or shoulders) and each of her hands were the angel wings. she then painted the face with a fine paintbrush. We also made reindeer heads using her foot (the heel is the nose) and her hand as the antlers. And then adding embellishments such as a ribbon around the "neck" with a bell.

i did the angel one similar, i put an angel in the middle of the shirt, then on top i put mommys angels, then our handprints, name and birthdate, and for my grandmas i put, nani's angels with the angel picture, and wrote all her grandkids name onit, 16 of em
