The other day I found these cute little onesies that had designs on them. So I pinned it to make with the kids. Of course we would not make onesies :) so we made shirts.
The only problem with the blog, it wasn't very good about giving step by steps. So here is how we did it. Yes pictures are a must.
1. Take your stickers off of your shirt.
2. Pick out your design
- Jon and Wesley wanted to do a tie. Renee wanted to do a caterpillar.
3. Cut your fabric larger than you design.
- We laid the tie out and cut around it. For the catepiller we laid a piece of tupperware out and cut larger than it.
4. Cut your Heat-n-Bond a little smaller than your fabric.
This is what the package looks like. It was $2.99 at the craft store.
Make sure to use your coupons to get it even cheaper. :)
5. Place the fabric face down (so that you are looking at the ugly side of the fabric) then place the rough side of the Heat-n-Bond down (so that you are looking at the white side of the heat n bond). Iron on medium heat with no steam for about 4 seconds.
- Same picture as above.
6. Let cool for a couple of seconds.
7. Draw out your design on the white of your Heat-n-Bond.
8. Cut out your design.
9. Peel the white back off the of Heat-n-Bond.
10. Place your design in the perfect location on the shirt and iron. (Again on medium heat with no steam) for about 10 seconds.
11. For Jon's I took so of the embroidery floss (thread) and halved the thickness. (I used about 3-4 strands). Then went around his tie. It just made it stand out and look a little more complete. *This step is totally optional.
11. Wear it proud. :)
Renee's shirt was a little big so we tucked it in. I also had some
scrap ribbon that I cut and tied around the sleeves.
