St Patty's Day T-Shirts and Video
Good evening all. Hope you have had a great weekend. We had a pretty low key one here. Just hanging out enjoying the nice weather. So my project for today is some T-shirts I made for my girls. I really think they can out super cute and can't wait for them to wear them for St Patrick's Day. These shirts are different from ones I have done in the past because I used fabric instead of paint for the decorations. I used my Cricut to cut the fabric and learned a lot in the process. I also made a video for you to share some of my tips. Here are the shirts.
Didn't they come out great. I love the gold buttons on the pot of gold. Here is the video and I will put a recipe at the end.
T-Shrirt Recipe:
T-shirts: I use regular t-shirts from Target instead of the craft store because they are softer and have more shape
Heat n' Bond
Fabric and embellishments from fabric store
Ironing Board and Iron
Shamrocks from Cricut Digital cart St Patrick's Day cut at 3.5" and 1.3"
Rainbow and Pot of gold from Simply Charmed cut at 2.4"
Text from Plantin Schoolbook Shadow cut at 1.12"
So I hope you have enjoyed my video and the project. The number one tip I can give you for cutting fabric is to use a new cricut blade. It will reduce any tearing of the fabric.
I have decided to enter this project in two challenges this week.
