super-simple custom t-shirts #starwars #darthvader #r2d2 #yoda

This weekend marks one of my boys’ favorite times of year, Free Comic Book Day (5/3) & Star Wars Day (5/4).  You can visit your favorite comic books stores across America and take home a large selection of comic books FREE.  There’s something for all ages.  Aiden usually finds Tinkerbell or Donald Duck, with a few age appropriate superheroes tossed in.  

The following day is May the 4th.  Disney Store’s will be celebrating with a special Ways of the Force event.  Check your store for how they’ll be celebrating.  Our local Disney store is giving the first 100 Guests a FREE Star Wars pin.

Why not celebrate the day with a fun custom Star Wars t-shirt.  I made these shirts for a group of Star Wars loving birthday boys.

Supplies:
t-shirt
freezer paper
fabric paint
    -flat black
    -puffy red and green
    -spray silver glitter 

Directions:

Pre wash shirts and press.

Cut freezer paper to printer paper size (8.5″x11″).  

Smooth out any curls in the paper. 

Print your sized image on the matte side of the freezer paper.

Cut out the freezer paper image.  Click each description below for a printable version of the images.   

Yoda- cut out – Cut around outside of image.  Iron on freezer paper Yoda stencil.  Use silver fabric paint to spray a thin coat over shirt.  Allow paint to dry to touch and carefully peel freezer paper off.  Give Yoda a green light saber with puffy paint.

#starwars #darthvader #r2d2 #yoda

 Darth Vader silhouette– Cut out the inside of the Darth Vader image, leaving a good outline of paper.  Iron on stencil.  Paint inside the stencil with black fabric paint.  Make sure to start from on the stencil/paper and move inwards.  This will prevent any paint from bleeding under the stencil.  Peel off stencil once it’s dry to the touch.  Give Darth a red lightsaber with puffy paint.

 Detailed R2D2–  This technique was the most time consuming, especially at the small size.  It is my favorite finished shirt, though.  Cut out each individual piece and iron onto the shirt.  I found it easiest to cut, place and iron as I went along.  Paint using the same technique as the Darth Vader stencil.  Give R2 a puffy red button for added detail.  

#starwars #darthvader #r2d2 #yoda

Allow your shirts to dry.  My paints did not require, but as an option you can set your paints.  Place a white cloth over each stenciled area and iron over on a med-high setting.  Launder according to  directions.  

“May the fourth be with you!”

    I love this and plan to do the Vader design with the Yoda technique. However I’m at a standstill since I somehow didn’t click to the fact that you cannot use freezer paper in a laser jet printer. It stuck to itself and the verdict is still out on whether I ruined my printer (it’s in pieces, waiting for my tech guy to put it back together). Anyway, just a heads up for all of you out there who might overlook the obvious. Thanks for a great tutorial and easy to print outlines. I can’t wait for the results!

      Oh no! Great advice for those with a laser jet, thank you for sharing. It does make sense, since it works with a flash of heat to seal the ink and freezer paper is coated with a layer of wax. I hope they are able to bring your printer back to life.

  • Peeking through the cracks as my oldest practices for his talent show audition. I couldn’t be more proud! He’s been a performer since the day he could walk. He’s stubborn and it’s hard sometimes to get him to reason. Once he opens his mind and heart to the sage advice mom and dad have he was on board. He’d been working on Ukulele all school year with dad, they’ve practiced this song, and he knows it pretty well off book. But he really wanted to audition a Michael Jackson song and dance- in under 2 weeks. 😬 It’s not that we don’t think he couldn’t pull it off (next year), but we’re working on seeing things through to the end and making choices that are based in reason and passion. Any one else have a little one that is a jack of all trades? #talentshow #disney #moana #ukelele #lava #someonetolava #learning #practice
  • Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, are you ready? This year we went homemade box and store bought cards. In past years we’ve always done simple printable cards with a little bit of added fun. Usually small toys I picked up for pennies each. Need a last minute printable valentine? Visit the link in my profile for tons of Valentine’s Day ideas. #valentinesday #printable #homemade #card #valentines #valentinecard #cute #kids #fun #schoolvalentines #school #freeprintable
  • Spent yesterday morning at the @thefarmarizona at a lovely brunch hosted by @kodiakcakes. 🥞 First visit to The Farm and I can’t wait to return to try one of their 3 on property restaurants. 
Brunch was delicious, and we got to try out some of the Kodiak Cake products. Our family has only done the original flapjacks and can’t wait to test out the Chocolate Chip. Have you tried Kodiak Cakes before? They’re packed with whole grains and protein, and oh so yummy!

  • Soccer season starts up again on Monday. So I crafted up some fun shirts for the crew cheering from the sidelines. I love that with my @officialcricut Maker and and EasyPress I can quickly make up t-shirts for any occasion. It’s a blessing and a curse, because now the kids want shirts for everything! Interested in learning how to get started creating with Cricut iron-on materials and tools? Hop over to the blog. #cricut #ad #cricutmaker #cricutmade #ironon #irononvinyl #customshirts #easypress
  • This is too good not to share. He went to bed a 6 year old last night, woke up 100! If you were here this morning he would’ve waved his cane at you (which he made) and yelled, “Get off my lawn!”. 😂 #100thdayofschool #100daysofschool #100 #costume #school #kindergarten #toocute #hilarious #oldman #cutiepatootie #suspenders #bowtie #grandpa #100yearsold #makeup #stagemakeup
  • My husband has been a loyal @floyds99barbershop customer for years, so when they reached out to work together I jumped. #ad I thought I’d treat him to a day of pampering, which I did, but turns out they specialize in services for the whole family. Perfect! We made a day out of it. We’ve actually taken both boys before and they did such a great job making them comfortable. .
We both got the works! Husband couldn’t have been more delighted by his cut and shave. And let me tell you it was wife approved too, LOVE the groomed fade! In addition to services, they also have a line of men's grooming products that are DEA, sulfate and paraben-free. #WinWin .

  • I’ve been dreaming of this oversized chalkboard since we moved in almost 2 years ago. This large wall is an awkward space. The pantry doors swing into it so isn’t the best spot for shelves or furniture. It was just begging for an oversized hanging piece! I finally got around to completing this project this past fall. We loved having a place to add a little seasonal art throughout the fall and winter holiday season. The kids love helping come up with designs and adding their own artistic flair. #chalkboard #rustic #farmhouse #farmhousedecor #diy #diydecor #rusticdecor #home #diyhomedecor #chalkart #chalkboards
