My granddaughter Mae was here visiting over the weekend,
and I decided to make her a shirt for the 4th of July.
My original plan was to make it a Stars and Stripes Forever
shirt, but my daughter suggested something simpler.
Something she can wear for a little longer than a day.
Mae’s Star Shirt for the 4th of July…
- I purchased a plain white shirt from Walmart for under $4.
- I measured the area of the shirt that I wanted the design.
- I used StyleTechCraft’s Heat Transfer Vinyl*, it is really easy to weed and use.
- I cut the vinyl stars using a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*, but you could also use metal dies to cut the vinyl.
- Place the cut vinyl onto the shirt shiny side up.
- Position the design on your shirt. Cover the shirt with a pressing cloth before pressing.
- Use an iron or a heat press* to apply heat and pressure to the design, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Peel off the clear transfer tape.
- Turn the shirt inside out and iron the inside of the shirt.

I was happy with how the shirt turned out, and so was Mae.
She decided she didn’t want to take it off.
