easy wood projects


Mabens school does a vocabulary parade.  Its really fun as each grade level is given different parameters of how they need to choose their word and dress up as it.  For Kindergarten its pretty easy, their word needed to start with a consonant.  Mabens first idea was to dress as the word, "was."  Yeah, not happening, so he chose, "is."  I explained that he should pick a noun, like paper.  "Okay mom, I want to be paper."  (face palm) 


Since it was my awesome idea, I needed to deliver.  I decided to transform a plain white t-shirt into a piece of notebook paper with a doodle on it.  Its fairly simple and I had all things on hand.

You will need a t-shirt, a ruler and a red, blue and black fabric marker.


I used the ruler to draw a straight line and use as a spacer for the lines on the paper.


Seriously a very easy project.  The most difficult part was to freehand the paper airplane doodle.  I actually made a paper airplane as a reference for my doodle.


Tip that I learned, its easier to use a soft touch when drawing with the markers to prevent the marker from catching and dragging since the shirt is stretchy.  So, I drew lightly and just went over it a few times.

I heat set the fabric markers in the dryer for 30 minutes on high.  You could do that or run an iron over each spot for 4 minutes.  The dryer was easier.

Maben loves his paper shirt.  He was so incredibly excited to see it for the first time and was probably the most originally dressed up kindergartener.


Most of the kids recycled their Halloween costumes, which I cant blame the parents since our district does not allow dressing up for Halloween.  So, lots of princesses, firefighters, fairies and super heroes, but only one kid dressed as paper.  I couldnt be prouder!
