We made matching The Nut Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree t-shirts for David, Luke, and Sylvie yesterday as David has to work on Father's Day. They were very easy to make and I think they turned out well.
First, we did a google image search for "oak tree" and "acorn." We downloaded the images and printed them onto Avery transfer paper
It was much easier to make the t-shirts than to get Sylvie to pose for the happy father/children photos.
She adores her father but she wasn't in the mood to express it on cue.
I love this - we say this so often in our home.

I am going to do this.
It's very clever and cute.
Besides I never know what to get my hubby for fathers day.
Thanks

We are planning on making this! I'm interested in where exactly found your tree and acorn. Yours are great and when I googled them, I found images that I didn't really care for.

I'm so glad people like them! Rachel, I'm going to email you the images. I found them a couple of weeks ago and weirdly, they're not there any more with I google "acorn" and "oak tree." Although there are lots of other suitable images there if you don't like the ones I chose once you see them close up.

Would it be possible to email me the images also? I love this idea.

Did it and love it! Thanks for the awesome suggestion!

How did this stand up to washing? When we've done t-shirt transfers they don't survive the washing even on delicate.

It stood up surprisingly well -- while both kids have outgrown their shirts, which they wore many times, their father still wears his t-shirt.
