Mother Goose, a Great and Wonderful Friend, who is also Very Creative, put together a fun Summer Project for our Kiddos. We made Custom Shirts just in time for Good Ol' 4th of July Celebration!

Directions to Make your Own COOL Shirt:
1. Cut the cardboard to fit inside the T-shirt (this will keep the fabric paint from bleeding through later). Mix the flour with water (it should be the consistency of mustard) in the measuring cup right before you're going to apply it so it doesn't have a chance to become gluey and difficult to use. Pour the mixture into the squeeze bottle and then use it to draw a sun pattern on the T-shirt. Let it bake in the hot sun for a couple of hours until hardened.
2. Spray the shirt with the fabric paint (we used Tulip brand) and let it dry in the sun.
3. Remove the cardboard, then have your child peel off the flour paste to reveal her summery design. Wash the T-shirt according to the paint manufacturer's directions.
