Grandma's Little Angels Shirt
How to Make a Handprint and Footprint T-Shirt or Sweatshirt

By , About.com Guide

Make this fun shirt for a special grandma. A great wearable gift idea submitted by Tabby.

Materials Needed:

  • Plain T-shirt or Sweatshirt
  • Fabric Paint

Instructions:
Using fabric paint, help your child make an upside-down footprint on the shirt for the body. Then add two handprints on each side for the wings. To finish the angel, make a golden halo at the heal which will be the angel's head. You can also use paint to add a head and a face.

Above the angel or angels you create, write "Grandma's Little Angels". You should also write each child's name below their foot- and handprint angel and include their age if you like.

You can also make a canvas bag using this idea, or make this shirt for anyone by simply replacing the word 'Grandma' with the appropriate word or name.
