Screen Printed Napoleon Dynamite T-shirt
Our local library has a really great selection of movies to rent for free. We brought home four Potter family favorites this past weekend, including the cult classic Napoleon Dynamite. Sweet! As soon as we saw the Vote for Pedro t-shirts again, we knew what our DIY teen craft project would be for the week. Using our trusty Tulip Screen-It and a retro style font, we had our sweet t-shirts whipped up in a flash.
Vote for Pedro, and all of your wildest dreams will come true.

You will need:
Tulip Screen-It Machine
Tulip Screen-It Film Sheets
Tulip Soft Fabric Paint Tube
Aleene's Repositionable Tacky Spray
100% Cotton T-shirt (wash first to remove sizing)
Painter's Tape
Tulip T-Shirt Form
Plastic tub
Plastic tub
Soft sponge
8.5x11" black ink inkjet print of VOTE FOR PEDRO
Step one: Place your burned screen into a tub of cool water and let sit for 10 minutes. Use your fingertips and a soft sponge to gently wipe away the emulsion from the burned areas of your screen. Be gentle. When all emulsion is removed from these areas and they're clear of any pink residue, you're all set. Let the screen dry. Step two: Slide your t-shirt form inside of your shirt, making sure the shirt is centered. Step three: Tape the back of the shirt so it's smooth around the front and there are no wrinkles or gaps.
Step three: Attach the dry screen to the front of your shirt, make sure it's centered and you have the lettering placed where you want it before you print. Step five: Squirt a thick bead of paint across the top of the lettering on the screen. Be careful not to get any paint on the shirt! Use the squeegee to scrape the paint across the letters evenly. I do this from top to bottom, bottom to top, left to right and right to left. Remove the tape and gently remove the screen being careful not to blob paint on the shirt. Let the shirt dry before you wear it. That's it!
Do you have a family favorite film? Is there a tag line you could use for your own Family Film Night t-shirts? We'd love to know! Share in the comments!

How to: Make a Keepsake Silhouette Portrait
Here's a handmade and personalized gift for Grandparent's Day (the first Sunday after Labor Day -- for 2013, it's on September 8!), or you can save it for Mother's or Father's Day. Just snap a photo of your subject in profile, gather up the rest of the materials, and you can make and assemble this in minutes. Start a series by making a new image each year so you can see the growth of your child!
What You Need:
-Aleene's Tacky Dot Runner adhesive
-Aleene's Tacky Dot Runner adhesive
-photo frame
-photo of your subject in profile to fit your frame
(it doesn't need to be crisp or particularly high quality)
-artists tape
-craft knife and cutting mat
-black paper (tip: if you don't have any,
create and print out a sheet of black paper on your computer)
-decorative paper (for background--check out your
wrapping paper stash for good options)
-scrap paper (for banner--I found a colorful envelope
from a holiday card in the recycling bin)
-thin-tipped pen
-photo of your subject in profile to fit your frame
(it doesn't need to be crisp or particularly high quality)
-artists tape
-craft knife and cutting mat
-black paper (tip: if you don't have any,
create and print out a sheet of black paper on your computer)
-decorative paper (for background--check out your
wrapping paper stash for good options)
-scrap paper (for banner--I found a colorful envelope
from a holiday card in the recycling bin)
-thin-tipped pen
Line up your photo on top of the black paper so the bottom edge aligns with one of the edges of the black paper. Tape both layers at the corners to the cutting mat.
Cutting through both layers, carefully trace the subject's profile (head and torso) with the blade of your craft knife. Exaggerate flyaway hairs for a playful flourish.
Gently separate the photo and the black silhouette beneath it from their respective backgrounds. Hold the black silhouette against different decorative background papers to see what works. Set aside the silhouette.
Carefully remove the glass from the frame and use it as a template to cut the decorative background paper to size.
Press the adhesive along the back of the silhouette, paying careful attention to the edges. (You can also use glue, but the dry adhesive roller is so tidy and contained!) Center and press it onto the background paper, aligning the bottom edges.
Use the craft knife to cut a small banner from the scrap paper, and use the pen to write the child's name, initials, birthday, or the date or occasion of the photo. Press adhesive along the back of the banner and then place it at the bottom of the silhouette.
Reassemble the frame, placing your silhouette art in place of a photo. Timeless!

Chevron Ombre Pillow Case
I've never been happier about gas than I am right now. I don't usually get excited when I hear the work chevron because all I seem to think about is the big bold red and blue shape that takes all of my moolah. However there is one thing I get really excited about and that is fabric paint. You can do so many great things with tulip fabric paint! Shapes, patterns and designs that are in your head can finally come to life. No special orders, no waiting for someone to make it, just you and the paint. That is all you need to create fun awesome things! Today we are making a chevron ombre pillow case that you can throw on a bed, couch or outdoors like I did.

You can make them in a few simple steps...let me show you how!

DIY Rorschach Test Backpack
This is one of those absurdly simple, low stress, maximum impact kind of crafts. Most DIY back to school projects lean in the feminine direction, but this one could work just as well for a guy as a gal. Use a washable white backpack (this is 100% cotton) and some black fabric paint and let your kid or teen do this themselves. This would look fabulous in neon colors too, but I love the bold simplicity of the black and white. They key is keeping it neat so you get a nice clean impression. I'd give your teen a black Tulip fabric marker to take to school and let their friends write what they see on the backpack. So it's interactive, fun and a great conversation starter.
