Materials Needed to Make the July 4th Shirt
To make this July 4th shirt you will need:
- A white t-shirt

- A piece of cardboard
How to Make the July 4th Shirt
Follow these steps to make the July 4th shirt:
- Use the tape to design the shape of a flag with the stripes.
- Put the piece of cardboard inside the shirt (this keeps paint bleeding through to the back).
