Hand-print Turkey Shirts

It's Thanksgiving craft time at the Krajca house!! We've been working on several projects, most of which I can't post since they're either 1) not finished or 2) being given as gifts. But here's a project that we did yesterday that turned out exactly as I was hoping it would!

Hand-print turkey shirts! After some trial and error, I have a few tips!!

• Since I have two busy boys (soon to be three!) we try to stay away from white. I found these shirts at Hobby Lobby (watch the sales, and sometimes they are half off!). I wanted to use yellow as one of the feather colors, so we just added a little brown to our yellow to make it darker. Perfect!
• The first one I did, I tried to do the brown, the colors and both hands at the same time. It didn't work well. :-) The "feathers" dried out. I recommend doing the body of the turkey, and then doing the feathers when the body is a little more dry.
• Use googly eyes!
• Make sure you use fabric paint, not acrylic pain.
