Bleach Shirts

My son is obsessed with the show Octonauts but you can't find the
anything to buy in the store because its based in  the UK.
My husband got the great idea to make him a shirt using a bleach technique.

He printed out the picture he wanted using freezer paper. Cut it out the image so that it was revered and the image was the only part of the shirt showing.  He then ironed it onto the shirt. Using bleach in a spray bottle he sprayed the image. Once you remove the freezer paper, you can see that the areas you bleached are a different color then the rest of the shirt.

Step 1: Print our image you want
Step 2: Cut out the image, leaving the outline
Step 3: Iron on to shirt
Step 4: Using bleach in a spray bottle, spray the area of the shirt showing, inside the outline
Step 5: Peel of freezer paper
Step 6: Rinse and let dry 

It came out great!

Octoanuts Birthday Party

For my son's 4th Birthday he decided he wanted an Octonaut birthday party.  We had so much fun making all the decorations for this party.  Most of the ideas came from Pinterest or my husband's crazy thinking :) Pin the Eye Patch on Kwazii Homemade Octonaut Hats Applesauce Kelp Cakes My husband created wooden cutouts for photos,  we decoupaged images on we printed from the website.  Our local Gerritys grocery store made a Octopod Cupcake Cake from a design I created.  We added gummy sharks and M&Ms for more details.  My husband made a Jello Snotblob because my son is obsessed with the Christmas Octonaut episode.
