To make your own designer T shirts start with 2 T-shirts (I got mine at Walmart for $4) one colored and one white. You will also need a bleach pen.
Put a piece of plastic or cardboard inside your shirt to protect the back side before you begin. Decide what wording you want on the shirt and then begin writing with the small tip side of the Bleach pen. I let mine sit for about 15 minutes to set the color.
While it is sitting outline the letters that you want over the top onto your white t-shirt. Make them in block form so you can cut just inside of the lines drawn. I chose CTR which stands for "Choose The Right" in our church.
Some other ideas might include your childs initials or School acronym. Cut out the letters.
Now you can rinse the bleach out of your shirt with cold water then stick it in the dryer.
When the shirt is ready pin the letters on the T shirt wherever it looks good to you and with the underneath words. Sew a zigzag seam through the middle of the words.
When you are done sewing wet the shirt and throw it in the dryer so the edges will fray and curl.
TA DA...you have just made a designer T shirt!
I am giving my T shirts to my teenage daughters at their church camp this summer, one in blue and one in gray.......hope they like them. Have fun. Allison
