Want to be crafty but don't have all the supplies on hand to make that happen? I found the perfect T-Shirt kit for you. Get all the supplies you need to make your own 4th of July shirt delivered to your door in one easy package.
Let your kids design and create their own USA shirt for the 4th of July!
Making 4th of July shirts is one of our favorite summer activities. Sourcing supplies and finding a plain t-shirt in the right size can be challenging and pricey if you don't already have them on hand.
The hardest part is finding a plain t-shirt in stock in the size you are looking for. It's as tricky as hitting the jackpot on the first try. I had to check three stores before I found the size in the color I was looking for this week. Save yourself the hassle and grab this cute 4th of July T-Shirt Kit.

How to make your own Independence Day Shirt
Step 1
Let your kids peel off the stencil stickers and stick them to the shirt. They can reposition them if needed until they get the look they want. Make sure all the stickers are pushed down well.
Step 2
When you are done with the stars sticker sheet you can use the sticker backing paper to act as a barrier so the paint doesn't soak through to the back. Just slide it inside the shirt. Depending on the size of the shirt, you may want to add another piece of thick paper or thin cardboard depending to the inside. Cereal box cardboard works great here!
Keeping one paintbrush designated for the red and one for the blue will help keep the colors from mixing too much.
Step 3
Take the brush and dab the paint around each sticker. Depending on how old your child is, he may need a little help with the painting.
Our little crew wanted to paint on top of each sticker at first. Anything goes with this type of craft but make sure you surround each shape with paint and fill in some of the extra white space. It will look so messy but that’s ok! When you peel off the stickers it will look amazing. We pretended to make firework explode as we dabbed our colors.
Step 4
Let the paint dry for a couple of hours and then let the kids peel off the stickers.
Peeling off the stickers is just as fun as sticking them on. Listen to the oohs and aahs as they reveal the white stars and letters underneath. They will be so excited that they made one. Crafting is a big confidence builder.
That was fun!! I hope you’ll try making your own 4th of July shirts at your house for a fun Summer craft.
