I don’t know about you, but it’s always a challenge for me to find blank clothing items for my son to decorate. I love adding my own touch to his clothing, but find it cheaper to buy clearance items….that already has a truck or saying on it. So, when I found this blank sweatshirt for $6 something at Target a few weeks ago, I snatched it up. He wore it blank for awhile, until I finally decided to slap on some heat transfer vinyl.
I’ve worked with heat transfer a few times, and have always had a really hard time getting it to stick. This time, I used a mini ironing board that I had been given recently, and set it on the floor. This way, I could put all my weight into the iron, and I found that it worked really well! I got my vinyl from expressions vinyl, and it is their easyweed.
I wanted something that didn’t involve lots of thinking, something I could slap on and be done. So, a robot holding a balloon was of course in order! I did have to free draw the string to make it long enough for the robot, but it wasn’t hard.
My son is enjoying his new sweatshirt, and I’m loving the fact that this was a quick project that I did during the last few minutes of nap time!
Thanks for hopping over,
