This was a really fun project. I needed shirts for the kids to wear to the Medieval Day happening in a couple of weeks. It is one of those days where you can go in street clothes but you have a lot more fun and it is more interactive if you try to dress up a little. I bought grey sweat shirts to start as a way to simulate chain mail. Then I made a dragon stencil. I got an image from the internet and then laminated it. I cut through the laminate with a sharp knife and then painted through it. So you can see the dragon by itself, above here. I made all the shirts slightly different. This is Alex's shirt. I can tell that because his had an A in the center of the dragon. The other kids all got their own initial.
Afterwards I put Crusader cross around the whole thing. The final portion was to put my trademark on the sleeve. It fits in really well with the whole picture. I can't wait to see all the boys in their gear. Levi got a grey long sleeve thin shirt because I knew he would crack it, having to wear something so close to a sweater
Those look fantastic!!!!!
