I love my silhouette machine.
One of my favorite things to make with it, are custom t-shirts.
As any good sorority girl knows, if you don't have a t-shirt, it didn't happen!
My parents are gathering my siblings and I in Gatlinburg, TN this summer for a family reunion.
They asked me if I would make t-shirts for the whole family for the event.
I received this heat transfer starter kit from the lovely people at Silhouette.
It included all these great things inside:
an idea/instruction book
3 12x9 sheets of smooth heat transfer material
2 12x9 sheets of flocked heat transfer material
10 exclusive heat transfer designs
instructional DVD
Silhouette hook tool
I started by opening up my Silhouette software.
I designed my event logo using various font sizes
The most important thing to remember is to mirror your image horizontally!
Since I had multiple shirts to make, I made a copy of the image, so that it would cut out several on one page.
Feed your heat transfer material into your machine shiny side down without a carrier sheet.
Once your image is cut, weed away the part of the transfer paper that you don't need.
I used the Silhouette weeding tool to remove some of the smaller details.
Once you weed out your image, place it face down {with the shiny plastic up}.
Your image should be on the right side now.
Cover the plastic with a cloth and iron.
Press down for 45-60 seconds in each spot.
Once the plastic is cool, carefully peel it back.
Iron as needed until all of the image remains stuck to your t-shirt.
That's it!
Now we are ready for the Foster Family Reunion!
These are some other shirts I have made using the heat transfer material.
As you can see, the possibilities are endless!
There are so many fun designs you can create.
And it doesn't just stop with t-shirts!
