Before and After Cheap and Easy T-Shirt Printing

A friend at work is having a party to celebrate her new home, so I thought I would make her a T-Shirt for the evening.

A T-Shirt (obviously!) $5

A Laminating Pouch (free from work)

Fabric Paint $12 for a big bottle - I probably used 50c worth

Your picture I made one up from a googled Grumpy cat picture

I used a sharp craft knife

If you want to be really thrifty, you can get 2 templates from one laminating pouch

I decided to be extravagant and throw caution to the wind!!

Sticky side down obviously! A hot iron for about a minute sticks it nicely

I put a sheet of paper inside the shirt to prevent the paint leeching through the material to the back.

Once fully painted and dried cover the design with another piece of paper, and iron as per the fabric paint instructions, (2 minutes in my case) to set the paint

It can be a bit stubborn to get off, especially if the design is complex

Can be easier if still warm from the iron

And there it is (plus another I made)

Just needs ironing!
