How to DIY a Christmas t-shirt with heat-transfer vinyl

If you want to get into the festive spirit but don't want to splash the cash on a new Christmas jumper, I've come up with an easy DIY version that you can make at home. I've used a T-shirt that I picked up from the charity shop for just £2 but you could add a festive design to any sweatshirt or tee you already have at home. Here's how...

If you want to get into the festive spirit but don’t want to splash the cash on a new Christmas jumper, I’ve come up with an easy DIY version that you can make at home. I’ve used a T-shirt that I picked up from the charity shop for just £2 but you could add a festive design to any sweatshirt or tee you already have at home. Here’s how…

YOU WILL NEED:

  • T-shirt or sweatshirt
  • Heat-transfer vinyl (I got mine in a multi-pack from Amazon)
  • Cutting machine (or a printer and craft knife!)
  • Iron and ironing board

I’ve posted a new DIY video of this project on my Cassiefairy YouTube channel so please check it out below to see just how easy it is to make a DIY festive t-shirt.

If you prefer to follow written instructions rather than a video, you can find step-by-step photos of this project here.

It’s really easy to print a festive design of your choice if you have a cutting machine as it does all the work for you, but if you don’t have one, don’t let that stop you! You can just as easily print out a template of the text onto paper and then layer it over the vinyl and use a craft knife to cut out the slogan. Just make sure you put a cutting mat under the vinyl so that you don’t ruin your worktop!

I used a SVG design that reads ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’ but you could use image or text you like – a snowflake pattern perhaps? Or a lyric from your favourite Christmas song? Once you’ve cut out the design, it’s simply a case of transferring the vinyl on your t-shirt and then wearing it to every Christmas party you’re invited to!

Let me know if you have a go at making this project for yourself and I’d love to see your festive makes so please tag me on Instagram @cassiefairy 🙂
