Flag shirts are so much fun to make
and since The 4th of July is just around the corner
I thought this would be a fun project.
I really love these Color Shot Fabric Paints by Tulip.
They cut the time it takes me to do a project in half
which is wonderful because that gives me more time to do more DIY's.
