14. I'm going to be a grandma…. just for the fun of it!  (Good for an expectant grandma.  Use clip art of rattles, diaper pins, baby bottle, etc. printed on fabric and ironed onto shirt.)

24. Grandma's Little Angel  (Trace child's foot and both hands onto fabric.  Cut out and use the foot as the body and the hands as the wings of an angel. Cut a small circle of light colored fabric for the head and glue on beads for eyes or just draw a head and face with paint marker. If child is a baby, leave as is or glue on yarn hair to match child. Put a small bow under the neck...pink for girl or blue for boy. Glue on a halo made from a pearl string.) 

25. Angels are behind grandchildren! (Insert cardboard into a t-shirt and pin back excess so that it is ready to paint on.  This will need at least two people and a young child in a good mood!  Paint the child's bottom with any color of acrylic paint. Sit child on the shirt so that it leaves a fanny impression.  Wash up child!  Let paint dry. The butt cheeks are the angel wings. Paint a face or use a photo iron-on of the child.  Make a "cone" of lace for the dress.  Glue on a halo made from a pearl string.)
