Fourth of July Shirts and Skirts

Since I had so much time on my hands this past week I thought it would be fun to make some stuff for the kids to wear on the 4th of July.

Aria is always wanting to wear dresses and skirts so I bought a few different red, white and blue fabrics and made her this darling skirt.

I can't wait to see her in it on Sunday.

The shirts sprouted with the idea to make Chase a special birthday shirt. Since his birthday is the 4th of July and we like to call him our little firecracker I came up with this.

Front-

Back-

I've wanted to try Freezer Paper stenciling for a long time now and this presented the perfect opportunity.

Hunter's shirt was a little more simple but I loved how it turned out.

Michela's shirt inspiration came from a Michael's ad in the paper last Sunday. Michela helped me figure out the stencil and she painted it all herself. I loved how we roughed up the edges. It gave it kind of a worn look. She even came up with the words she wanted to use and wrote them on with a Sharpie. She loved it so much she didn't stop with the front of the shirt but went on to do more stenciling on the back. She is such a creative girl. I love doing crafty things with her.

I love how they all turned out. They are going to be super cute for all the fun Fourth of July festivities this weekend!
