DIY Valentine Shirt Using Permanent Maker

Pin to Pinterest

Make an adorable DIY Valentine Shirt using Permanent Marker! You won’t believe how easy this is to create! There are so many options with colors and patterns but, we think this double heart is perfect! Use a cookie cutter for the pattern and fabric markers to outline the shape in dots. As long as the kids have a steady hand, they can create their own personalized shirt. Have fun!

Supplies:

Plain White T-Shirt
Tulip fabric markers (red, hot pink, light pink, purple)
Heart cookie cutter
Cardboard

Directions:

Lay your shirt flat.
Place a piece of cardboard inside your shirt to prevent the marker from bleeding through.
Place your cookie cutter on the front center of your white shirt.
Hold your cookie cutter still with one hand, and begin dotting around the cookie cutter with your markers.
You will want to color lots of dots directly around the cookie cutter and a lot less as you go further way from the cookie cutter.
Switch colors and repeat steps 4-5 (do this 4 times).
Let your shirt dry for 24 hours, and your shirt is ready to wear and wash as these fabric markers are permanent.
