My Maddie modeling by the new black wall :) |
I started by finding a picture of a dog. We went with Cloe from Beverly Hills Chihuahua (her favorite movie) and I drew it onto the shirt. I didn't have a plan for the left side at this point but I figured the dog would look silly centered.
I knew I wanted to incorporate something with her hand print to play off of the 5 theme. I took the cutout of her hand and traced it 5 times in a circle. (see the punny theme here? Yes, I'm that dorky)
I painted the dog with fabric paint and a little brush. The thinner you paint the longer it lasts without cracking. These girls wear these shirts all year long. It has blue eyes just like my girl. :-) I decided that a '5' would look cute on the left so the dog would be looking down at something. I just freehanded it. It and the yellow around it are glow in the dark paint.
I painted the handprints like they were overlapping in the circle. I tried to choose fun bright colors with her favorite color, purple, on the top. I also added her name accross the top in silver. It's in a picture at the bottom.
