Frugal DIY: Chicken Nugs and Mama Hugs Toddler Shirt

I just finished the second shirt for my friends youngest kid. She has two girls, and somehow I got the baby two shirts and the older girl just one shirt. But I have some other stuff to make for the older girl. So it'll all work out in the end. I had originally had a different design for this shirt, but the glitter iron on wasn't letting me weed the design out of it easily enough. So instead of getting frustrated and possibly wasting the glitter iron on by messing up, I set it aside and I will weed it and make a shirt with it later. I figured since the other one I made her was super pink and girly, this one could be a little more muted colors. So I used white and gray. Again, I am really happy with how it turned out. Have you ever made your own shirts? With a machine like this or even by hand? I remember when I was growing up we used to get iron on paper and print stuff out of the computer and iron them on. This is a little more advanced than that.

I wonder if they still make printable iron ons. I'm sure they do. Lol, thank you!

@wolfgirl569 I haven't either. If a shirt needs to be made here, I either order it or make it with the cricut and heat press.

I've never seen this done. It sounds a bit complicated but the end results are worth it.

I will have to see if I can share the video of how my machine works, if not I will find a YouTube video of it.

Cute! My older sister has a Cricut. She made me a black and pink New Kids On The Block shirt because I wanted one in black and pink lol. I bought the shirt and possibly the vinyl (I can't remember now), and she did all the work.
