Plain t-shirts are great but sometimes we want it to be a little more exciting. I found a super plain t-shirt at the dollar store and added an iron-on transfer to it to upcycle it. You can see more of my crazy creations here

Materials needed:

It’s always a good idea to wash the clothing in case it will shrink.


This heart transfer is made out of mini metal beads. I peeled the back off of this one and set the position of the patch onto the shirt to the right spot for me. I looked at the package instructions for this iron-on and it told me which side to place right side up and which side touches the fabric.

I placed parchment paper on top of the iron-on. This one did not come with parchment paper.

I preheated my iron according to the iron patch instruction and make sure your steam setting is turned off. You can use a heat press as well. Most iron ons recommend a lower temperature and some all the way to high heat. I slowly moved the iron side to side and up and down over the entire patch for the length of time specified in the instructions.

This particular iron on then told me to turn garment inside out and iron on the back side of the shirt to help the back of the patch stick to the shirt.

I let the iron on cool and started to peel up the backing. This one did not peel well, so I had to iron it a second time. After letting it cool the second time, I was able to peel off the backing with success.
