Gone Batty!

They had been looking forward to making their "Halloween shirts" for a week.

The day finally arrived! We made these shirts today and had a blast doing it.

After the one hundredth time of being asked, "Can I touch it!? Our shirts dry?! Can we wear them?!", I used a hair dryer to speed up drying.

I got the idea from Michael's. You can get instructions and the bat template at

Instead of regular white and yellow fabric paints, I used glow-in-the-dark white and yellow fabric paint.


They LOVE these shirts! To make the Glow-in-the-Dark paint REALLY glow, we would shine a bright flashlight on the glow-in-the-dark parts. So much fun!

A few weeks after making the shirts, I found a PERFECT picture frame at Target!
