DIY Thanksgiving Turkey T-Shirt
The kids will have a blast creating and wearing their turkey shirt!
Servings 1
Cost 5
Ingredients
- fabric paint non toxic
- Paper plate
- Paint brushes
- White T-shirt
- Google eyes optional
- Sharpie black and orange
- Hot glue gun optional
Instructions
- We started with white shirts we already owned, but many people recommend washing your shirt first. Lay the shirt out as flat as you can on the table, with some kind of newspaper or cardboard in between the front and the back (I always forget this part!).
- Pour some paints (red, orange, yellow, brown) onto a paper plate. I used acrylic paint, but I should mention that I don't know anything about paint! It seemed to work fine for us last year, so we'll stick with it. Of course, I ran out of paper plates, so I had to use a paper towel on a regular plate. Not the most effective method!!
- Using the brush, paint your child's palm brown and each finger a different color.
- Have them press firmly onto the t-shirt. You can do one or two turkeys.
- Once the paint is dry, hot glue a googly eye onto his head.
- You can also draw little embellishments like feet, beak (with the orange Sharpie), or extra hair/feathers.
- If you do add embellishments, let it all dry before wearing.
