Happy 4th of July

This is our third year of crafting our own 4th of July t-shirts.  I love it.  The kids love it.  We all love it.  I looked and looked for inspiration and finally came across a fun idea for their shirts.  Thanks Pinterest.  We decided to make bleached, freezer paper stenciled shirts. 
I started by finding patriotic clip art that the kids liked.  I printed the pictures, cut them out and traced them onto freezer paper, which I then cut out again.  There is probably an easier way but I was afraid to put freezer paper in the printer.  Next, I ironed on the stencil and then sprayed with bleach.  I took the shirts outside to dry a little then peeled of the paper.  Finally, I washed and dried the shirts.  The kids were so in love with them.  It was a great project.  The possibilities are endless with other holidays too.  I can't wait!!

This is what the ironed on stencil looked like.  I can't find my pictures of the finished product.  I will post when I get them off of my phone.
