i was originally going to to do valentine themed shirts...but couldn't think of something clever enough for all three kids, so i opted for things i thought they would like instead and then did a valentiney one for blake.
it is such a simple process and i really enjoy the results! i was also surprised how the details came through really well...it is a quick process too...as long as you don't spend an hour, like me, trying to finalize the design...then it will take longer:)
(i didn't get great pictures of the shirts themselves because shortly after i took these initial photos there was an unfortunate incident with mud pies and LOTS of red clay mud...it was extremely unfortunate!)
i just printed out the images i wanted to use, i found the simplest hello kitty and the simplest transformer autobot symbol i could. then you trace it onto your freezer paper, cut it out with an exacto knife...
the only tricky part for me was realizing that since i wanted the outline of the pictures on the shirts then i had to cut out the positive parts of the image and keep the negative parts to put on the shirt...does that make any sense? i kept thinking, okay, i want this line to be on the shirt so i need to cut around it so i can paint the line with the brush...it just takes some "fourth dimensional" thinking (if you are a Back to The Future fan)
totally worth it, totally fun! i recommend trying it! so many possibilities too....
