A regular sleeveless round neck tee shirt was used. Cut a "v" in the front, and trim the raw edges with ribbon. Cut slits in the sides
to create ties. This creates a more fitted, "fun" look. Stars are ready made appliques, numbers were created on a computer and printed to transfer
paper, then ironed to the shirt. Letters can be ready made appliques, or cut from fabric and ironed on using fusible web, or printed from your
computer. Our instructions explain all of these methods.

Purchase a plain white tee shirt or tank top, and add appliques to create your own unique school spirit shirt.
Add stars, cheers, names, or numbers. Use ready made appliques, or create your own.
APPLIQUE
Method 1: Ready Made Applique
There is a wide assortment of ready made letters and designs. We found several easy to use appliques at Michaels's (craft store). These appliques are simply
peeled off the backing, then ironed onto the shirt.
Method 2: Create Your Own Using Applique Pressing Sheet (for more intricate appliques)
An applique pressing sheet makes it possible to create very intricate appliques. Fusible web is ironed to the wrong side of fabric, then the pieces are cut from fabric and ironed to the fusible web.
The pieces will stick to one another, not to the applique pressing sheet.
The finished applique is then ironed to the shirt. With this method, you can create your own team spirit appliques.
Instructions for using applique pressing sheet.
Method 3: Cut Designs Directly From Fabric (great for creating your own letters)
For letters, iron fusible web to the wrong side of the fabric. Cut out the letters or other designs and iron them onto the shirt.
You can also use this method to cut stars and other shapes from printed fabric. Look for fabric with stars, sports balls etc.
Fusible Web Instructions/Letter Pattern.
Method 4: Create Your Own Design On Your Computer
Use art or text software to create your design. Print to transfer paper. Cut out designs and iron the designs to the shirt.
Transfer printer paper can be purchased at sewing, craft or office supply stores.
Free Instructions & Pattern: Shamrock Shirt.
NOTE: Your design must fit onto the transfer paper. Transfer paper is available for dark or light fabrics. Be sure you purchase
the correct type for your project. Carefully follow the instructions on the package.
Group your designs so that they can be printed together onto as few sheets of transfer paper as possible (this saves paper).
We recommend that you test your designs by printing them first to regular paper. Cut out your designs from the paper and place
them on your shirt. Make any desired changes to your designs. When you are happy with the finished designs and lay-out, print to transfer paper.
Fusible web was not needed with the transfer paper we used. We simply printed the designs onto the transfer paper, cut out the designs, placed them right side up on the shirt, placed the parchment paper provided
over the designs, and then pressed down on the designs with a hot iron for the specified time.
