You didn't really think I could just make one set of t-shirts and be done with this did ya?  LOL

Here are our latest creations.  We took dark green t-shirts and spelled out HOME'S COOL with some cheap wood letters I bought in a package at the craft store.  Then the kids decorated their shirts with a variety of school supplies including:
scissors, pens, pencils, glue stick, tape, binder clips, protractor, rulers, compass...

Then Mom sprayed them with bleach & we waited 5 minutes.......Viola!!
This is the end result!  Pretty cool, huh?

Yesterday when I was in Micheal's I saw this same basic idea done on light color t-shirts and then sprayed with watered down fabric paint.  They had used Fun Foam shapes to decorate their t-shirts. (Hearts, princess crown, etc...) Stay tuned, I am sure we will be trying those at some point!  LOL

We are so making these! What store did you find the letters in? We have no crafts store around here so I'd have to order them online.

Hi Jamin-
I just made these shirts, and we learned a few things that are good tips for others. First, be sure to spray straight over everything. We sprayed side-ways a little bit, and it ended up getting under some of the objects. Second, we sprayed them too much and they dripped under the glue bottle and ruler. We were disappointed that there were drips on the shirts. Third, do not do a second spraying and wait for 10 minutes total. It did not make a difference for us. In fact, they were a little faded from the first spraying. We got kelly green colored shirts, and they just didn't turn out as well. We ended up tracing everything and coloring it all in with a dark green sharpie. Oh well! It is a fun idea! I learned these things the hard way! Thanks for sharing all of your fun craft ideas!
