Valentine's Crafting: 90's style

Looking for a quick and satisfying Valentine's craft? I've just the thing.

Yesterday my boys decided they wanted to make "neon heart shirts!" They love neon! The brighter the better in their opinion. So, we rummaged around for some paints and bought a couple of shirts and got to work.

(my youngest son made a shirt, but he did it while in his underwear.. I am not so cool with kids in underwear pictures).

Here are the needed supplies:
Shirt
Fabric Paint
Sponge paint brush
Masking Tape
Cardboard for under the shirt

First you make lines with the masking tape. The kiddos will paint the shirt between the lines.

Next, grab your paints and let them paint away. Careful to make certain they don't paint over the sides and onto the table..

My kids wanted to alternate their colors

Once it dries, peel the tape back and see the cool lines

Now you can outline the heart and then paint inside the heart

My son outlined his in black and then decided it looked "too perfect" and decided to graffiti it a bit
