crayola® transfer t-shirt
Summertime is the perfect time to DIY a shirt or two, especially these colorful cuties! Kids will love drawing scenes from their favorite story or memory with Crayola® crayons. You’ll love how easy it is to transfer their pictures onto a cotton t-shirt with an iron.
| Step 1 |
Project Notes: - This is a project for kids aged 4 and up. - Before you begin this project, take a few moments to imagine a story, or think about a fun or interesting memory. - You’ll have to do some ironing in Step 5. Remember that this is a job for an ADULT only. Use your pencil to lightly draw pictures of your story or memory onto the front side of your fabric transfer paper. Make a separate drawing for each scene you want to show. TIPS: - You’ll need to fit all your drawings onto the front of your t-shirt, so make sure they’re not too big. - Remember that your picture will be reversed when you iron it onto your shirt. If you want to add words, make sure to write them backwards on your transfer paper. |
| Step 2 |
Use your crayons to color in your pictures. Make them nice and bright. |
| Step 3 |
Next, cut out each picture and be sure to trim as close as you can to the drawings so you don’t have a lot of white space. |
| Step 4 |
Lay the pictures onto your shirt, in the order that your story or memory happened. Make sure the colored side of each drawing is facedown. |
| Step 5 |
ADULT: Follow the transfer paper’s packaging instructions to iron the crayon pictures onto the shirt. Gently peel away the paper backing for each one. TIP: Once you’ve removed the paper backing, don’t touch the iron to your transferred images. It will melt the crayon off of your shirt. Share your project photos with #MakeItWithMichaels |
