Several years ago I had a friend come to me with this "my DAD deserves a pat on the back" shirt idea -- we made "GRANDPA" ones too. Get it? - hand prints on the back - clever, right?!?
I embroidered the words on the front with my machine, but you could use iron-on transfer cut with a Silhouette/Cricuit, or even fabric markers (wouldn't that be cute if the kids' wrote it). Kristen saw this sneak peek on facebook and mentioned freezer paper - that'd work too!
When I made the first version I outlined the handprints and had the kids' names on them:
But then we had another child join the ranks, so a new shirt was in order. The handprints aren't near as nice, but I don't think it matters too much:

ReplyDeleteOH MAN,I like it even better now that I've seen the handprints on the back! That really is great! Although I suggested freezer paper, I thought about that for about 2 minutes before I went to the Silhouette store and ordered heat transfer. ;)

I think I'll be doing this for the grandpas. I'll need to hire some help (aka aunt or grandma) to get my 2 month old's handprint though! :)
