Homemade Printed T-shirts


To make these shirts, all you need is a shirt, crayons, a piece of cardboard, fine sand paper, and an iron.
   You can use coarser sand paper for more of a textured look if you want!

Have your kids color on the sandpaper, any design they want but remind them that the picture with be flipped on the shirt! Once their done, go over it with an extra thick layer of crayon.


place the card board inside the shirt to prevent the design from bleeding through. Position the sandpaper with the design face down on the shirt.

Place a paper towel on top of the sandpaper to protect the iron. Iron, on cotton setting or low, for about 30 seconds. Gently lift an edge of the sandpaper and make sure you have a good print before completely removing the sandpaper. Iron for 30 more seconds if you need to transfer more of the crayon.

Viola! Once you remove the sandpaper, you now have an awesome t-shirt with your kiddies cool design!
