Admittedly, the idea wasn't entirely my own. I first saw it as a wood craft, but thought the concept could easily be really cute for Easter shirts. Plus, I was able to use things I already had on-hand, so I didn't have to spend a penny on these.
My method was the same I have used on my stenciled shirts in the past, using vinyl cut on my Silhouette as a stencil. It works pretty well, although I'd love to try their stencil vinyl or freezer paper. I tried cutting freezer paper on my Silhouette a year or two ago, and it didn't work at all, but now that I have new mats(yes!) I am thinking it might work after all.
After I designed the graphics and cut the vinyl, I put the vinyl on each shirt and used my fabric ink and brushes to paint the shirts. I had to do three coats of the white, which was a little bit ridiculous. Once I was done painting in the stencil, and I pulled off the vinyl and let the paint dry. For the eyes and noses, I dipped the other end of my brush in brown fabric paint and dabbed it on. To make sure the ink was cured, I baked each shirt in the oven for one minute at 350 degrees. This was mostly for the silver paint, since it doesn't cure just by air drying.
