Make a one-of-a kind t-shirt for Grandpa to wear with pride
This is a project that I did when my son was a baby for his Grandpa for his first Father's Day.
-
Step 1As my son was only 10 months old at the time, I put chocolate pudding on his hands to make an impression of them on a paper plate (it took numerous attempts to get a useable one) to make a template to use on the shirt.
For older kids, you could probably just put the paint directly on their hands and have them put it on the shirt.
-
Step 2I then filled in fabric paint where the pudding was on the template and pressed the template against the fabric to make the "handprints" on the back of the shirt.
I then used fabric paint and wrote my son's name, age, weight and height on the shirt.
-
Step 3I used a letter stencil and red fabric paint on the front of the shirt to stencil in "Kyle's Grandpa"
