Birthday Tees...I made these... :)

I am a self proclaimed craftoholic…and my husband/sister/mom/friends would all agree. I am obsessed with making things for them.

When I heard my friend’s twin grandsons were going to be having their 1^st birthday bash this month, the crafty wheels in my head starting turning with the idea of making birthday shirts for the twins to wear for their party and photos. I was overjoyed to learn my friend was right on board. :) I knew I wanted incorporate Halloween into the Birthday mix, but I didn’t want to do the traditional black and orange. While looking through my fabric at home, I came across this blue and white skull print flannel that I purchased last year ago at JoAnn Fabric. It was perfect!

My sister and I made a trip to Old Navy to find some tees that I could appliqué on. As you can probably already tell, I am a HUGE clearance rack fan, so that is the first place I started looking. I found two 4^th of July tees in the sizes I needed (12-18 months and 2T…yes, 2T already!). I thought I was getting an awesome deal since Old Navy was having a 50% off clearance sale, which meant I could pick up each 4^th of July shirt for only $1.00 (each shirt was clearance to $1.99). However, I was shocked at the register when the shirts were coming up for $0.32 each. I quickly sent my sister back to see if she could find more but I guess I had picked up the last two. Oh well, I guess it couldn’t have worked out better than to find two shirts in the perfect size for less than $1. What an awesome deal!!

Okay, okay…enough with my story! I know you probably want to see the finished tees. Well, here you go...

I think they turned out super cute! I really enjoyed this project. But the best part for me was that my friend absolutely loved them...and so did her DIL (who loves skulls)! :)

What do you think?
