This Mothers Day gift has a little bit of a back story. Every Christmas growing up we would make my grandparents sweatshirts. These sweatshirts where one of a kind, they would say things like "We've got to hand it to you Grandma you are the BEST" then my mom would have a put our hand prints on them. Every year our Mom would come up with a creative new saying to put on these sweatshirts. I wish I had a picture of one because they were amazing!
Well now that my Mom is a grandma I thought I would do the same for her, so last year for Mothers Day Athena, Clay and I made these babies!
On the front they say " My granddaughter LOVES me..." and they have a cute hand print of my 5 month old daughter. Then on the back they say "to the MOON and back" and that is a bum print of my little girl. I actually put paint on her 5 month old bum and put it on their shirts. They loved them! I did pink for Grandma and blue for Grandpa and gave the grandpa's theirs for fathers day.
What I did:
I got my shirts for $5 at Wal-mart,
I used a fabric marker to write the words,
I cut the letters LOVES out of fabric and using the iron on stuff I ironed the letters on,
I used pink and blue paint to do the hand and bum print.
Stay tuned for this years gift!
