How to Turn Kids Artwork into a T-shirt

If you’re looking for a fun craft to do with your kiddo, this is it! This is a fantastic kid craft! For my second Canon project, my little guy had a blast helping me turn his artwork into a t-shirt. So easy and so fun! He loved designing his own shirt.

You have no idea how special this little guy felt getting to design and make his own t-shirt! He was in heaven! And it only took a few minutes to do. Then, of course, he insisted on changing his shirt immediately so he could wear it.

Supplies:

  1. First I had my little guy draw a picture. His grandpa flew out for the weekend and they went to the Monster Jam in Richmond. So he drew a Monster Truck he saw at the Monster Jam.

All finished drawing! Time to put it on a shirt.

2. I made a photo copy of his picture onto Printable Heat Transfer Material using my PIXMA MG7720 Wireless Photo All-in-One Printer.

3. Then I cut around the image with scissors.

4. I placed the heat transfer face down and put a piece of fabric over the top and ironed according to the directions on the Heat Transfer packaging.

5. Allow to cool and then peel off the backing to reveal the transferred image.

This little mister had a blast designing his Monster Truck shirt with his own art work! I am sure that we will be making tons more of these fun shirts in our future. It seriously only took us a few minutes to go from sketching to custom t-shirt. Both the little guy and I highly recommend this fun kids craft idea!
