Step 1
Purchase a solid-colored polo or golf shirt in Dad's size. The shirt should be cotton or a polyester-cotton blend.
-
Step 2
Select fabric paints in colors that will match the shirt. Use at least two different colors to provide contrast. Paint that comes in a squeeze bottle is easiest to use and creates the least mess.
-
Step 3
Draw your design on paper first to perfect it. One great design includes a face or stick figure for each child with the words "Dad's Caddies" written across the top (or "Grandpa's Caddies" for a grandfather). Use other designs that appeal to you.
-
Step 4
Plan where you will place the words and pictures before painting.
-
Step 5
Place the shirt on a flat surface and smooth out all the wrinkles.
-
Step 6
Let the children help. Each child can make his or her own face or stick person.
-
Step 7
Paint the words and pictures on the shirt.
-
Step 8
Allow the shirt to dry overnight and keep little fingers from poking at the paint.
-
Step 9
Wrap the shirt and proudly present it to Dad for a terrific surprise.
