Who Doesn't Love T-Shirts and Mustaches????????

My Little Man has an obsession with mustaches.  He calls himself Mustache Man and he's known as Mr. Mustache around school.  It's kinda a big deal with him.

Check out exhibit one......

And exhibit two............




And exhibit three....

I made these t-shirts using freezer paper and fabric paint.  Super Easy!

Our Little Man is competing in a goalkeeper battle for the first time.  He has trained in the rain and the heat during the off season to prepare.  I am proud and in awe of his courage, dedication, and determination. This is the first time he will take the field solo.  There will be no team in front of him on the field. So what better way to show our support then with a t-shirt and a mustache!

I used Microsoft word to print the Team Elijah using Britannic Bold font with a size of 185 and the Microsoft clip-art had lots of mustache pictures to choose from.

I then glued the printout using a glue stick onto the freezer paper glossy side down.  While on top of a cutting mat I cut out the letters and mustache using an exact o knife.  Then, I ironed the freezer paper onto the t-shirt. I put a piece of cardboard inside the t-shirt and it was needed.  The fabric paint did bleed through a little.  I used a paint sponge and dabbed Deep Red Tulip Slick fabric paint over the edges of the cut outs and then inside the cut out portions.

I let mine sit over night before I peeled off the freezer paper.

I used t-shirts that I found at Hobby Lobby.  They seem to always be on sale!  Wait 72 hours before you wash the shirts.  AND then, wear them proudly!
 Don't they look sweet?

Now this is what it's really like!

Stay Crafty,
