My son brought home this adorable 4th of July shirt from preschool.
I thought it was so cute I wanted a handprint of my daughter too. He wasn't very forthcoming about how it was done, but of course that didn't stop me. I just made up my own way:
Put a small piece of painter's tape on your paper or shirt.
Use red paint to make a handprint with the upper palm covering the painter's tape. Obviously, if you're making a shirt you'll need to use fabric paint.
Remove the painter's tape and paint the rectangle blue.
I used foil stars and number stickers. To make the shirt, his teacher made dots using silver paint and wrote out the year with blue fabric paint.
I think this would be cute to make in honor of the olympics too.

So cute! I saw a handprint american flag on Pinterest, then I didn't read the directions, and then tried to remember and do it without looking. Needless to say, it didn't turn out so hot. I'll have to remember your tutorial and do it again.
