Homemade skirts your girls can scribble on :)

Ok so we had left over paint from our Family Wall Art  project and paint setting was setting out in jars with all the fun colors and it just kept my creativity flowing.  Autty had commented that the Family Wall Art project would be a good skirt. :) So away we went.  Here is a post from Filth Wizardry that gave me the know how.. Skirts at Filth Wizardry

I had some white fabric that had been used as a curtain and the girls went to work. I think you could use pillowcases or even certain dish towels to make these, I just used what I had.

The designer in deep thought.

After the girls drew on the fabric they then took the watered down paint and painted over their artwork.  I wanted them to paint the whole skirt to give it a real colorful effect but hey ..I wasn't going to be wearing them so I let them decide.  

It is really very simple and you could do it all by hand stitch if you really wanted to. When measuring the girls I had to remember to leave room for the elastic. I am such an amateur sewer and I make more mistakes that I would like to admit.  I did bring out the machine because it was so much quicker and then I had some self adhesive iron on stuff for the ribbon and ta da..

With no further to do here is The Schneider's Spring Designs:

Well that is it for now... from this crazy household.  ;)

Let me know if any of you attempt this for your little girlie's. :) It is so inexpensive and fun. Could be a fun Valentine day skirt.
