4th of July DIY T-Shirts

Have your kids whip up these t-shirts for the whole family to wear to your 4th of July celebrations!

Materials:

·         White t-shirts

·         newspaper

·         red and/or blue fabric paint

·         corrugated cardboard cut into star shapes (I made two different sizes)

·         small paint brush

Directions:

1. Spread out t-shirt on table.
2. Lay newspapers on the inside of the t-shirt to prevent the paint from bleeding through.
3. Use a paint brush or q-tip to brush the paint onto your corrugated cardboard stars (just the ridges).
4. Press the stars onto the t-shirt.
5. Continue add stars to your t-shirt by repainting the cardboard.

Variations:
 Cut stars out of kitchen sponges, squirt some blue or red paint onto a paper plate, dip the sponges into the paint and stamp the t-shirt. This might be easier for younger children.

 Use either of these methods with white paint on a red or blue t-shirt.
