Father's day Alumni T-shirt

Here are the Father's Day Shirts I had the girls make this year. We made 1 for Sam, 1 for my Dad and 1 for Sam's Dad.

Supplies:

• Parchment paper and masking tape or contact paper
• scissors
• permanent marker
• masking tape
• Printed out copy of school's Logo
• T-shirt
• fabric paint
• cardboard
  

1. cover your table with newspaper
2. Print out a copy of the school's logo. (I went to google images, copied the logo, pasted it into a word document, enlarged it there, and printed it out.)
3. Trace the image onto the contact paper or parchment paper. (If using contact paper make sure that you are tracing it so that when you peal back the paper the image is not reversed.)
4. If using Parchment Paper instead of contact paper cover the image with masking tape
5. Now cut out the image with scissors. Try to save as much of the cut outs as possible, you could use them too.
6. Any cut marks that were made in the cut outs can be patched up with some more small pieces of tape. They can be used on the sleeves, back, or another shirt.
7. Put the cardboard inside the shirt so that the paint doesn't soak through to the back. If you want the paint only around the logo, fold all the extra fabric of the t-shirt under the cardboard so the kids don't paint it. (like the Yellow shirt.) If you want hand prints all over the shirt, don't tuck. (Like the Blue Shirt.)
8. Peal off the backing on the logo and apply it to the shirt. Make sure to center it. If doing a multiple piece logo, apply the center one first and work out from there.)
9. Now that you have everything set up, let the kids come to the table, give them the paint and let them go at it. while supervising make sure that they get the paint on all the edges of the tape so that the image shows up.
10. When the kids are done pull off the tape while it is still wet. (I'm not sure, but if you wait until the paint dries the paint might peal instead of giving you a nice crisp edge.) Then leave the shirt in a safe place to dry overnight.
