Kool-Aid T-shirts
Eli had fun last week creating this T-shirt using Kool-Aid as a dye. You simply wash and press a light colored T-shirt (white probably works best as E.'s light grey shirt didn't show the yellow too well). Add 2 tabl. white vinegar to one pack of Kool-Aid. I mixed up yellow, orange and purple for Eli. Using a Q-tip, swab the color in preferred designs on the shirt. The color spreads a bit, so you can't get too detailed with your design. You could also use rubberbands to do a tie-dye design as well. If you don't want it to go through to the back, put a paper bag or something between the layers. Eli didn't bother and got a cool-looking design on the back. After allowing the shirt to dry (at least 2 hours), press it again. To launder, wash on gentle in cold water and tumble dry. My other two boys were so impressed by Eli's shirt that they asked to make some, too!

Cute shirt. Even cuter boy. His haircut is great. A perfect summer buzz cut.
My children would love this. I may have to plan it for our first week of school- for fun and for art!
I also love your BIG batch of Root beer. I'd use Spenda too so I'm glad to hear it tasted good using it!
Enjoy the end of summer and start of Fall!
