Instructions:
This home-made t-shirt was a hit with my husband on Father's Day, although this would also make a great gift for mom. Change the wording a bit and it is great for grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc.
Lay the t-shirt out on a flat surface. Place a piece of cardboard inside the shirt so the paint doesn't leak through to the other side. You might want to keep a large container with warm soap water and towels near where you are making this t-shirt.
I simply had my kids step into a shallow dish with fabric paint in it (each kid had a different color) and then step on the t-shirt. Once the footprints were dry, I used black fabric paint and wrote "My Kids Walk All Over Me". You can also do the back side of the shirt once the front dries.
