DIY Boy's Sunglasses T-Shirt

Boys clothing... Ahem... Speaking for myself, it's not the most exciting stuff out there. My kids will follow a few trends-- skinny jeans (they're both skinny, so they fit more like "regular" jeans), the occasional button downs... but anything beyond that is no-go. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I want them to look like little boys and not like short little 20 year olds.

Anyhow, they are not fashionistos but they like the occasional cool t-shirt. I've found that "cool" tees are either uber expensive or loaded with product placement. So when I saw this on-trend iron-on sunglasses set from SEI, the wheels in my head started spinning.

I seldom have the opportunity to make things for my boys to wear, but when I ran this idea by my seven year old, he was excited and totally onboard. When one of my boys is onboard with one of my ideas, I run with it!



materials needed:
cotton t-shirt
SEI sunglasses iron-on art
iron
scissors

This is a quick and easy project. Just follow the instructions on the packaging!



First, prewash the t-shirt and air dry.

Lay the shirt on a hard, flat surface. Cut out the sunglasses of your choice and position it on the shirt.

Lay it face-down (paper backing side up) and iron it with DRY iron set to 350 F (cotton or linen setting on most irons). Press Firmly for 15-20 seconds and let cool for 1 minute.



Slowly peel back the paper backing. Then turn the shirt inside out and iron the design on the reverse side with Firm Pressure for 10-15 seconds.

That's it! A quick and easy project that has the boys' stamp of approval.

Here's the "top gun" shirt that I made for my younger son. He wasn't up for modeling so a hanger on the door will have to do. :)
