Sparkle Snowflake T-shirt

I have a thing for snowflakes. I do. And winter solstice seems the perfect occasion to share this snowflake T-shirt with you (maybe it will encourage actual snowflakes to fall!). A little sparkle glams up a plain T-shirt, and you can dress it up with a skirt or down with jeans to suit the mood or the occasion.

Materials:
-plain T-shirt
–Fashion Glitter Iron on Shimmer Sheets
-scissors
-iron and press cloth

Make it:
1. Fold one corner of the shimmer sheet down on the diagonal.

2. Trim the excess to square it off.

3. Fold the folded triangle in half again.

4. And in half again.

5. And in half one more time.

6. Pinch the layers together and cut out shapes from the two folded edges, doing your best to go through ALL layers.

7. Unfold the snowflake, and tidy up any mismatched cutouts.

8. Place the snowflake on the T-shirt, plastic side down, and iron it on using a press cloth.

9. Peel back the press cloth to make sure all edges are stuck. Try it on!

I Love to Create: Snowflake Stencil T-shirts!

We had a wicked nor’easter blow through the East Coast last week, and though the snow pile-up lasted less than twenty-four hours, it sure put me in the mood for winter. So with a family gathering around the corner, I decided to make some wintery-themed T-shirts for the two young cousins in attendance–a little something to wear inside when it’s too cold outside! And a nice alternative to the ubiquitous holiday sweater, don’t you think?

Materials:
-white T-shirt(s) in appropriate size(s)
–Tulip fabric spray paint (light blue)
-white printer paper
-paper scissors
-iron and press cloth
–Tulip Soft Fabric Paint (Gold Glitter, optional)
–Tulip Sponge Brush (optional)

Make it:
1. Fold one of the sheets of paper on a diagonal to “square” it. Use scissors to cut off the excess strip of paper.

2. Bring the lower left corner up to fold the triangle in half again.

3. And again!

4. Use your scissors to start cutting notches along the folded edges: zigzags, circles, crescents, curls, diamonds, and so on! Don’t forget to cut the open edges in an arc, so that the snowflake will be somewhat round in appearance when you unfold.

5. Unfold!

6. Repeat to make many snowflakes (no two will be alike)!

7. Lay the T-shirt flat on your work surface. Arrange the snowflakes onto the front, and press them with a warm iron to keep them relatively flat. (Note: The weight of the spray paint will actually help them stay flat, too.)
