I received some T-shirt iron on vinyl from Expressions Vinyl and couldn't wait to try it out. I found some plain t-shirts at Target for under $5 each, so I decided to make my kids some Valentine's Day shirts.
Problem: How do you make a Valentine's Day shirt for a boy? I didn't want to use hearts or anything, so instead I tried my hand at making my first-ever subway art. Using my Silhouette, I was able to come up with this:
I seriously love this little boy and all those words just make me smile (so does seeing him in his cute little shirt). But guess what?! He likes it too:
For my girls, I once again let them browse through the Silhouette site for shapes and they decided what they wanted for their shirts. We had a lot of fun and they are happy with the results, and that's what really matters.
I loved working with the iron-on vinyl. I only had to iron it for a few seconds, and the film peeled right off and everything stuck to the shirt. Super easy! I highly recommend using this stuff!
