DIY Spider Web T-shirt

It’s fun to make cute holiday shirts for your kids. As soon as I set my eyes on this DIY project, I knew I needed to this Spider Web Shirt for my daughter. She is fascinated by spiders and the webs that they make.

Making the Spider Web Shirt

Last week I had bought some inexpensive solid color shirts for making holiday outfits, but hadn’t decided what to do for October.This looked easy, creative, and something I could make for less than $2.00! It also connected really well with this weeks cooking class at Kim’s house with Spider Meatballs.

Am I going to have another unplanned amazingly connected learning week this month???

I didn’t have a bleach pen like she did. Hmmmm… would outdoor bleach work applying it with a q-tip?  It is the only thing I had available. Sure enough, in just seconds, I could see the colors changing. I let it sit for about a minute and rinsed it out several times with soapy water and hung it up to dry.

Then, only because when I looked at the time I realized that 7 minutes after reading her post I had a cute Spider Web Shirt for my 5 year old, I just had to message her and thank her for inspiring a project. I was so excited that she responded back!

“@ Loving Mama — How funny are you? I love it, I do that all the time, see a fun project, drop everything I’m doing and make it right away. The Q-Tip is a great idea! xoxo Fondly, Pink and Green Mama MaryLea”

Spider Web Shirt Inspiration

If you haven’t stopped by to see Pink and Green Mama’s art projects for littles, I highly recommend it!  Her art projects are fantastic and the pictures are beautiful.  I was so inspired by her yesterday post Spider Web Halloween Shirt that I went to work right away!

NOTE: this is NOT a kid project! Adult made – FOR kids. Always exercise common safety rules when working with bleach.
