DIY fruit t-shirts

Last week we had two amazing days of clear blue skies, a little breeze, and 75F weather!  I wanted to make something summer-y stat!!  I decided to make my boys some summer t-shirts...yes, these are very Bobo Choses inspired.  ;)  Fruit is in these days, so I gathered up some inexpensive color tees, paint brush, fabric paint, and got to work.  
I freehanded the fruit shape, first using a small thin paint brush to make the outline of the fruit, then a bigger paint brush to fill it in.  I did 3 coats of paint, added the little black paint accents, and done!  I really like how they turned out, even though they are a little rough around the edges, and my boys look pretty cute in them too.  Oh Asher, your smile-y face is awesome.
CRAFTERS NOTE:
You can easily (and maybe even better looking?) print your shape out on some freezer paper, to use as a stencil on the shirt.
