Olympic Opening Ceremony Party and Olympic T-Shirt Tutorial

Let the Games Begin 2012!!!!

4 Years ago one of my first blogs was the Summer 2008 Games!!!

Blogs, parties, foods, activities have gotten a lot fancier in the last 4 years.

Tonight was an easy night my daughter had a sleepover and we watched the games and made Olympic T-shirts. the T-shrt tutorial is later in this post.

I had to make these Olympic Canning Jars

Easy cupcake design, M&M's for the Rings (Brown M&M is the black One!)

The cupcake toppers were from a previous post

These were part of the Olympic printables

I made a Torch from paper and tissue paper

A last minute find...this was really fun, we played Opening Ceremony BINGO!

I found the Bingo Cards HERE

Olympic T-shirt Time!

 Supplies:

Plain White T-s (not the Band...)

Plastic Cups

Puff Paints

scissors

Step 1: Cut neck, sleeves and bottom (warning the t-shirt looks huge but it gets smaller with the tie)

Step 2: from the bottom cut away the bottom band so you are left with just the fabric.

Now stretch the fabric, keep stretching until you have t-shirt spaghetti!

Step 3: this gets a little trickier and you have to work with it to make it uniquely your own...

turn to the back of t-shirt and make a narrower racerback, and cut a deep v in the back.

(this is where you will use the spaghetti to tie it together)

Also you will probably had to tweak the front neckline and make a little lower to match the back...

get creative...

Step 4: cut your spaghetti so you have one long piece and start from the bottom of the V, and tie a knot 

Now wrap away!!!!

Now time to decorate.

Sticking with the theme of the evening: OLYMPIC FLAG T-shirt

Using the bottom of a cup

OLYMPIC Circles!!!!
