Sand Paper T-Shirt Craft

MATERIALS:   Plain White T-shirt
Iron
Iron
     Crayons
                Fine Sandpaper



Draw Desired Artwork on Sandpaper, Go back over it thicker.



I made the mistake of not flipping the picture, your drawing may come out backwards if not done so first.


Place down on paper.


Place paper towel over sandpaper, to protect the iron. Iron for about 30 seconds. When done,  place two or three paper towels over just the picture on the t-shirt, for 15 seconds to even out the color, and set it in better.




Dry on Low heat for 30 minutes to finish setting in drawing.
