What’s a mom to do

when she gets a message from the school on Wednesday night that Friday is wear your favorite college shirt to school day and her kids have long outgrown their favorite college shirts? I refuse to pay for overnight shipping for anything, so ordering them online was NOT a possibility either.

Luckily, I still had some Hanes T-shirts in their size from a pack I had bought a while back, some blue acrylic paint, and freezer paper all on hand. I found a picture online of the logo I wanted to use and printed it out, made a couple of freezer paper stencils from it, watered down the acrylic paint just a little bit, and went to work.

Here’s a link that tells how to do freezer paper stenciling if you are interested. It’s really easy.

The girls are were excited to show off their cougar pride at school today. They will most likely be the only BYU fans in a sea full of Florida school t-shirts.
