Wearable Art

I had bookmarked this site awhile ago. It has some great ideas on what to do with that overflowing box of my son’s art work I’m collecting. I finally had time to try one of them.

T-shirts! I can see always having his art displayed this way. We wear them everyday!

First we started of with the actual art. I set him up with markers and a pad of paper. No surprises that we get a droid clone battle. In a brutal storm.

 After he’s finished his masterpiece, I scan them and print a sample out in black and white to make sure I have the size right for my T-shirt. Yep I’m gonna wear my son’s art!

Once I have the size right, I print (mirror image so the words imprint correctly) on the Iron-On paper (purchased on Amazon). I let it dry for 30 minutes per the directions on the packaging then iron it on my T-shirt. After it cools completely, I peel it carefully to reveal his masterpiece!

When I showed him my shirt, he was so impressed, he made me make him one too!

Now we have matching T-shirts displaying my Rex’s original work. I’m really happy with how cute this little project turned out.

Of course I am expected to pose for the obligatory series of silly shots since I “made him” stop his episode of Backyardigan’s to take a picture of us in our new T-Shirts

I’ll be trying a few more ideas for displaying his artwork from that link soon.
