Classroom 2 Gets Ready for Thanksgiving
Today, we made our Native American outfits for our Thanksgiving Feast. I got this great idea from our other teacher, Mrs. Wilson. I bought T-shirts from Walmart (sizes XL-XXXL), and purchased brown and tan cloth dye and washed the shirts in the dyes. I made a sample shirt for the kids before starting the project with them which was helpful. I also used a Youtube video that helped me learn how to cut the frills. We cut 6 inches of frills from the bottom and 2 1/2 inches of the sleeves. Students are still beading them! This project takes about 3 hours to complete. I'd suggest doing this over a course of 3 sessions (cutting, beading and painting) but we did it all in one day! Check out pinterest for cool pics of other types of shirts.
