Wanted: A DIY t-shirt with an image in Santa’s likeness on it.
Solution: One upside-down handprint!
These shirts are so easy and so much fun to make. I traced the body with a pencil then filled in with fabric paint. For Santa, I stitched the face, but I could have just as easily used the same paint that I used to outline him. The outline was painted using a toothpick. And those cotton-ball-looking-thingies are different sized white pom-poms that you can pick up at any craft store…attached with hot glue.
To make Mr. Reindeer, I used one foot and two hands.
For this guy’s extra parts, I went with buttons…also attached with hot glue. 
Now that the girls have some holiday threads we’re all set to go pick out our tree this weekend. I know. It’s almost Christmas and we’ll probably be taking it down in less than two weeks. But, it’s been in the 80s here all week and I’m determined to get into some Christmas spirit before the big day actually gets here! Actually, this isn’t the first time we’ve gotten our tree late. A few years ago we went out and picked up a tree on Christmas Eve…got a great deal on it, too!
Anybody else wait ’til the last minute to put their holiday decorations up?
Love the embroidered handprint! Great idea!
very fun. Cool idea! I’ll have to borrow it
Adorable Chrissy!!
We waited til the last minute this year too. Our tree and lights are up but that’s it except for a lonely painted santa gourd on the buffet. I didn’t even put ornaments up this year
Oh well. We do have a new puppy and toddler this year, so I could see things being eaten and squashed anyhow.
By the way, would you be interested in this? http://www.bosssanders.com/2008/12/18/creative-geniuses-or-something-like-that/
cute!!!
Oh that is BEYOND cute, I love it! I still have a BUNCH of decorations to put up…including my tree! I can’t believe how late I’ve been but I just haven’t been in town on a weekend until now. Sigh…
Wow, those are cute!
