It's incredible to think that our sweet little grand baby has been part of our lives for an entire year already. I thought my own kids grew up/were growing up fast. This year just flew by! But there he is, running around the house (and I do mean running - I think he went from crawling to a full out run) and making us laugh every day.
For his birthday I decided to make him a special 1st birthday t-shirt.
I was inspired to create this special birthday shirt by another blog. I'm pretty sure it was CampClem.
To create a shirt you will need:
1 or 2 light weight fabric (I suggest bright colors or prints)
1 plain cotton t-shirt
HeatnBond
scissors
an iron
Prewash the t-shirt.
Following the instruction on the HeatnBond, apply it to the back of the fabric.
Draw or trace the number onto the paper of the HeatnBond - backwards!! (if you draw it the right way, it will come out backwards on the shirt!) . Cut around the lines of your drawing or tracing.
If you are using two fabrics - iron the number onto the front of the second fabric. Apply HeatnBond to back of second fabric according to package instructions. Cut around number leaving a margin to create a border from the second fabric. Remove HeatnBond paper backing.
Position the number where you want it on the front of the t-shirt and iron according to HeatnBond package instructions.
And "Ta Da!" 1 cute shirt for 1 cute birthday boy!
It looks great. I made shirts for both of our boys' first birthday's, too. Won't be able to do that for Ruby Kate, though 'cause she's already turned 2...will be 3 in November! The babies grow up way too fast, I agree!
