Recently I took a (small ;) step away from my paper, scissors, and glue and played with heat transfer vinyl. Today I'm sharing tips for making your own Halloween t shirts.
I used my
Silhouette Cameo
and glow in the dark heat transfer vinyl and gold glitter heat transfer vinyl to create these cute Halloween t shirts for my kiddos. I get all my vinyl from
Expressions Vinyl. They have the best quality and THE best customer service. Love them!!!
I started by cutting the shapes from the
Silhouette store.
Tip #1 remember to reverse your images by using the mirror function before you cut.
After I cut the vinyl and removed the negative pieces, I was left with vinyl that was ready to be ironed onto my kids
black t shirt
.
The words will be backwards (that's a good thing, right now).
Are you ready for tip #2? It's a good one...
Tip #2 Use a piece of parchment paper
on top of your vinyl. This will prevent any residue from sticking (and making a huge mess of) your
iron
.
I put my iron on medium heat
(Tip #3 make sure to press down firmly with your iron onto the vinyl) while
I was adhering the vinyl. At the end of this project I had 2 HAPPY kids. I didn't get a picture of the shirts glowing in the dark. My kids were way too busy for that nonsense. They are awesome in the dark, especially the t-rex.
I have a little girlie who is pretty good about her momma constantly taking her picture.
Then....there's my little man. He's not as happy and cooperative when I need a photo. Just after I got him in his brand new fancy t-rex shirt he ran out and played in the sandbox (hence the
not so clean shirt in the photo).
He may not be the most cooperative model but I still like him...lots!
Hurry, you've got just enough time to get your supplies and get some t-shirts made...your kiddos will love you and do their chores without complaining. Okay, that may be pushing it but I did get a clean kitchen out of this deal.
Thanks for stopping by today!
