4th of July t-Shirts


 While my sister was here visiting we made nine 4th of July T-shirts.  We decided to go with gray T-shirts so the Red, White & Blue would all stand out.
 The USA shirts are for the boys age 3 and 8.  I painted the fireworks on using THIS technique - it involves stamping with pipecleaners!  Then I appliqued the USA letters on the shirts.  We wanted it to look very "boy" - it's challenging to make boy shirts without getting too cutesie!  I think they worked!

The Star shirts are for the girls age 12 & 11. 

I love the "necklace" shirt.  These are for the girls age 4 and 7.  I secretly want one for me!!

 

The cupcake shirt is for Hallie who is almost 1.  
 
The mommies needed shirts too.  I decided to go with a ruffle shirt instead of applique.  I have been saving old T-shirts like crazy to use for ruffles - so it was time I actually used some.  Click HERE for the tutorial on how to make this fun, festive,  ruffle shirt.

    I love this idea so much!!! I also liked the grey! I had the perfect old shirt to use. I made the stars (the one y'all made for the tween girls). I'm also going to make a tank and use the necklace idea for it and do the year down the side! I love your blog and follow your crafting ideas weekly! Thanks so much!
