You Will Need:
- White shirt/onesie/tank

How To:
For my 3 year old I painted the top and bottom lines and she painted lines in between.

Check the label of your fabric paint, as there may be additional instructions per the paint to make the design permanent.

Step 1: pre-wash your shirt
Step 2: put your cardboard inside the t-shirt. Your child will paint on the shirt and this will prevent bleeding through to the back of the shirt.
Step 3: use the brush to paint one hand blue. Be generous with the paint. I probably should have loaded my kids' hands up more!
Step 4: quickly place the blue hand down on the shirt in the upper left corner. Press firmly on their hand, but don't move it around! Lift the hand straight up.
Step 5: wash that little blue hand!
* I chose to let the shirt dry overnight at this point, but you could just keep going if you'd like to! *
Step 6: Paint the red stripes. I painted the first one for my 6 year old and then told her when she should draw a bigger line under her hand print.
For my 3 year old I painted the top and bottom lines and she painted lines in between.
