My daughter had a blast making this Patriotic Flag Hand-print T-Shirt, and she can't wait to wear it to the 4th of July parade & fireworks in a few weeks! It only takes about 30 minutes + all-in, it only costs about $5 to make. So, it's a fairly frugal craft too {which I love}!
What you will need:
- Paint brush
- Piece of cardboard {to slide inside of the shirt - it keeps paint from running through to back of shirt}
- White washable crayon
- Cup of water to rinse brush
- Baby wipes or wet paper towels {to wipe paint off hands}
- Red, white, and blue Puffy Paint {.75 c each at Walmart}
- Tank or T-Shirt in grey or blue - {we found the above navy girls tank at Walmart for $3}
- Slide the cardboard inside of the shirt - it keeps the paint from running through to back of shirt.
- Use white washable crayon to draw a large heart in the center of shirt {large enough for both hand prints}.
- Squirt some of each color of puffy paint out onto paper plate.
- Use paint brush to spread blue paint on palms of hands. Next, use paintbrush to spread red and white paint on alternating fingers.
- Press hands down onto shirt (making sure thumbs come together to form a heart {see above image}.
- Use red Puffy paint to fill in the heart {see above image}.
- Use white Puffy paint to add stars to the hand-prints{see above image}
- Use remaining red, white, and blue Puffy Paint to make the large outer heart outline (following the original white crayon outline)+ add USA{see above image} or other desired designs.
(Recommended for ages 5+ with adult supervision)
