The All-Time Favorite T-Shirt

Contributed by Dani
By far the most favorite Father's Day gift my husband has ever received was a simple T-Shirt my daughter and I made back in 1994. We started with a plain white T-Shirt, some acrylic craft paint, and fabric medium for acrylic painting (found in most craft departments). We painted my daughter's hands and feet one at a time with bright blue and red paint and made hand- and footprints all over the shirt. The fabric medium has helped to make the paint last, and my husband still wears the shirt on a weekly basis. My daughter loves to see how much her hands and feet have grown. When making this shirt, place newspaper or cardboard inside the shirt to keep the paint from going through to the other side. It is also very helpful to have a large bowl or small bucket of water nearby to rinse each hand or foot after the prints have been made. This helps little fast feet from running on the floor before cleaned up.
