I used the Sure Cuts a Lot software along with my Cricut to cut out each of their favorite dinosaur and the silly labels for underneath. I then used some fabric paint I got at the craft store from the clearance section (37 cents!) and ta da!
You need to heat set the paint, and the easiest way to do this is with your iron. I found a great article that explains it in great detail here. I let the paint sit for 24 hours and it worked great!
My son loves his t-shirt and has now decided he needs one for each type of dinosaur! It's a good thing they're easy and cheap to make!
I also quickly made this Angry Birds inspired one for my daughter's friend who was turning 6. I love the vintage look of these t shirts and especially how soft they feel.
Proudly linking to these awesome parties!!!
You will need a washcloth (mine measure 12x12 and come in a pack of 9), felt cut outs, ric rac, some matching buttons and thread.
First step is to decide what decorations you want and trace them on to your felt. In this case I did flowers, but you can do anything. Keep it simple as to not overwhelm the apron since it's small.
Then add some detailing to the felt cut outs. I like to use buttons as I think they give a great dimension. I did car shapes for my son's apron and used the buttons as the tires!
Attach the shapes to the washcloth using a coordinating thread that will make them stand out a little. I like to place the shapes in a corner as I think they look cuter that way.
Carefully sew the ribbon on the top and you are done! The possibilities for these aprons are endless, this tutorial just shows you the method. Using the washcloth makes it a fast project because you don't have to cut or hem and can just have fun embellishing. Can you tell that's my favorite part?
