Supplies Needed:

Tulip The Rainbow Box Brush-On Fabric Paint

White 100% cotton T-shirts

Cutting machine

Scissors

Freezer paper

Iron

Foam paint brush

Disposable plate

Step 1: Design your stencil

Design and prepare stencils with a cutting machine

Use an electronic cutting machine to create stencils for your mommy and me shirts on freezer paper. You’ll need two stencils of your chosen design: one to fit an adult-sized shirt, and one to fit a kid-sized shirt. For this project, Ivy Pink Made is using a word art design to create the perfect Thanksgiving outfit!

Step 2: Place stencil and iron to set

Place stencil onto mommy and me shirts and iron to set

Preheat your iron to low heat, no steam. Place the freezer paper stencil shiny-side down onto the T-shirt in your desired position, then iron to set it into place. Repeat with the second stencil and T-shirt to prepare your custom mommy and me shirts for painting.

Step 3: Apply fabric paint

Apply fabric paint to mommy and me shirts

Pour a small amount of your desired fabric paint colors onto a disposable plate. Try mixing paints to create custom colors for an extra unique mommy and me Thanksgiving outfit!

Dip a foam paint brush into one color, then apply the paint onto the T-shirt over the stencil in a dabbing motion. Be sure to clean your brush when switching paints to avoid muddying colors.

Step 4: Let dry and enjoy!
