This Grandma Is Fun has a Father’s Day gift that is fun and easy!

Supplies Needed:

• 100% Cotton shirt in Dad’s size
• Contact paper
• Spray bottle
• Exacto knife and cutting board
• Marker or pen
• Bleach (small amount in spray bottle)
• Grandchild’s hand to trace for the shirt

Instructions: 

1. Cut a piece of contact paper into a square shape large enough for a child’s hand to fit. I used a plain piece of paper to practice cutting the heart out and then traced the paper cut out onto the contact paper.
2.  If your grandchild is old enough allow them to trace their hand themselves. For the younger children trace their hand for them. Then draw a small heart in the palm of the hand.
3. Using a cutting board and an Exacto knife, cut out the hand print and heart. Lay shirt on a smooth hard surface. Decide where you want your child’s hand print on the shirt. Usually right around the heart area is good.
4. Peel the backing off the contact paper and carefully place the clear contact paper onto the shirt. Smooth out any wrinkles as you go. Make sure there is no hair or dust under the design. (If the contact paper is not attached well the bleach might seep beneath the hand print design.)Place another piece of contact paper on the inside of the shirt to protect the back of the shirt from bleach seeping through.
5. Hang up your shirt. Add some bleach into your spray bottle and spray bleach directly onto the shirt where the contact paper hand print is. Be CAREFUL not to use too much bleach or it will seep through to the back of the shirt. Do not allow smaller children to spray the bleach, do this part for them.
6. Allow the shirt to hang outside for 15 minutes to half an hour. Kids love to see how the bleach starts working in just a few minutes!
7. Place the shirt in the washing machine with the contact paper hand print still in place and wash according to the shirts washing directions.
8. Remove the shirt from the dryer and admire your handiwork! Have your grandkids help wrap it up for a fun Father’s Day gift.
