Transfer T-shirts
No CommentsThis is a great activity for kids to do at a birthday party, especially a sleepover, and it also makes a wonderful gift for grandparents. Can be transferred onto a sweatshirt too.
Materials:
Plain white T-shirts (cotton/poly blends work best)
Fabric crayons (available at craft stores)
Plain white paper
Iron and ironing board
Piece of cardboard
Using the fabric crayons, have the children draw a design on the piece of paper. Set your iron on the cotton setting and place the cardboard between the front and back of the T-shirt. Place the design on top with the drawing side down. With the iron, apply an even pressure across the entire design. Remove the paper and the design will be transferred onto the shirt. Tip: Remind the children that the design will be reversed so if they are writing words or a message they should write it backwards because the finished result will be the mirror image of the original. Caution: Children should be warned that the iron is hot and adults only are to touch the iron.Published on May 18, 2010 · Filed under: 10-13 year olds, 5-9 year olds, All ages., Birthday party ideas, Christmas, Homemade Gifts, Mother's Day Gifts, Pre-school, Seasonal/Holiday; Tagged as: gift ideas, Homemade Gifts
