Today for our little art project I let the big kids make their own shirts! I found some fabric markers at the craft store and I have some shirts that I've "discontinued" from my Etsy shop so I wanted to use them up anyways. I let the kids decorate their shirts anyway they wanted and they asked me to draw some shapes and their names on them, so I obliged. Clearly these are a huge fashion faux paux, but they were so cute struttin' their stuff in what they thought were the coolest shirts ever! hehe ;-)
We did their last names and soon to be new ages on the back, like jerseys :-P
While making their shirts Sawyer kept saying "I'm making mine super special Shawna"

| She just thinks Sawyer is a God---look at the way she stares at him LOL |

| While posing for pictures Sawyer kept saying "Look Shawna, this is my really sweet look" Yes Sawyer, you look very sweet! ;-)

Great idea! I have some things I've been holding onto for the boys to paint. I think it might be a colorful disaster with my boys, though, so I've kept them hidden. You've inspired me to give it another thought, though!
ReplyDeleteThe markers weren't messy at all---not like paint, so it wasn't too bad!
DeleteWhat a fun idea! I love that you just let them go and do their own. Sometimes it's hard for me to do that with my girls, but I tell myself they are using their creativity! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, my fashion loving self was dying on the inside but I kept telling myself "we'll just make it a pajama top" LOL.
DeleteHahaha, I love the sweet look. And I love how Raya just looks at him with such admiration. So cute! I should let Gianna do this sometime, she would love it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, an entire pack of the fabric markers was only $6 so it was a pretty cheap project. I'm going to let Raya decorate a onesie for her baby cousin next hehe
DeleteGreat idea, you can tell they had a great time!!! I also just love the way Raya looks at Sawyer!!!! I love the pencil pics alot, they are just sooooo cute together!!!

What a cute idea! I need to do this project with the girls. And they are so cute together! They look like the best of buds! And that they could get in a lot of trouble together! Ha!
