DO IT YOURSELF TSHIRT TRANSFER

Making your own tshirts is a fun craft to do with the kids, but transfer paper can be pretty pricey so we’ve scoured the internet to find some do-it-yourself options. Enjoy!
The Crayon and Sandpaper Transfer

We found this DIY on AlphaMom.com. It’s easy and toddler friendly — would make for a great weekend or rainy day project!

You’ll need:

  • quality crayons, like Crayola
  • a clean tshirt
  • an iron
  • fine grit sandpaper (the more coarse the texture the more texture on your transfer)

Follow the steps here and viola! 

We found this awesome tutorial at Instructables.com. It’s pretty intensive, so it would make a great project for an older child. We like it because it involves the use of a homemade light box and would be a great art experiment.
You’ll need:
  • clean tshirt
  • Sharpie or fabric markers
  • tracing box (instructions included in the DIY — 2 push-on lights and a clear storage container)
  • masking tape

The Freezer Paper Transfer 
We found this tshirt DIY on LimeLady.LiveJournal.com and it’s not meant for tshirt transfers but fabric instead. Great for making custom quilting squares and such. We thought it was a great find!
You’ll need:

  • fabric (thread count of 200 or more)
  • freezer paper
  • iron
