I purchased a black t-shirt for a few bucks, pre-washed it, with no fabric softener and then ironed it to get the wrinkles out.
I don't do a scary Halloween, so I searched for a cute image in Cricut's Design Space. I found one I owned by searching the word "boo". I inserted the image to the canvas and resized it to fit the front of my shirt. I trimmed the iron-on vinyl and prepared to cut it.
I preheat the iron to the highest setting and aligned the image to the t-shirt. Working on hard surface works best when using a household iron. Cover the image with fabric, I use a pillow case, it's thick enough to protect the plastic and thin enough to heat set the iron-on. Then press firmly for 30 seconds. Carefully pull back the plastic. If needed, iron the back side of the t-shirt, but lower the iron setting to cotton or cover your shirt with a piece of fabric, in my case a pillow case, to avoid scorching.
I am so ready for Halloween! OK so it's a bit early to wear my shirt, but once September rolls in, I'm wearing my tee.
Boo, Eek Happy Haunting! Love Best Creation Inc.'s iron-on vinyl softness. Remember to turn the shirt inside out before washing. I don't use the dryer on any iron-on vinyl or silk screen clothes, DIY or store bought, I always line dry.
I hope you enjoyed my project. Enjoy the rest of your week and please visit again next week for a couple more iron-on vinyl projects.
