DIY Minecraft T-Shirt Party Favor Tutorial

For his 8th birthday party, T wanted a Minecraft theme party. For one of the party favors, I created Creeper t-shirts. The bright shirts worked great for spotting the kids running around at the party. It was a quick project that I completed in one evening and was a massive hit at the party!

SUPPLY LIST:

Gather the following supplies.

Green T-Shirts

I purchased the lime green t-shirts at Hobby Lobby for $2.79 each during a 30% off sale. They do carry an Irish green t-shirt that would be the better creeper color. But I tried to purchase the shirts shortly after St. Patrick’s Day and the Irish green was out of stock. Michaels also sells t-shirts, but they only carry lime green. Watch for a sale on those, I did see them as low as $2 each.

Black Iron-on Vinyl

The vinyl will yield approximately 10-12 creeper faces depending on the how large you make them.

PRINT OUT A CREEPER FACE

Print out a Creeper face image to use as a template.

CUT OUT A CREEPER FACE

Cut out the Creeper face to create a stencil.

CUT OUT METHOD #1 – STENCIL AND SCISSORS

Use your cut out as a stencil and trace the Creeper image onto your vinyl. Cut out your Creeper face using scissors.

CUT OUT METHOD #2 – X-ACTO KNIFE AND STRAIGHT EDGE

I found this method to work best for me. I used the template as the pattern and cut out the image using an X-Acto knife and ruler. I ended up with straighter edges using this method vs. with using scissors. And towards the end, used the grid to measure out the pattern.

If you had a vinyl cutting machine, this would be a good project for it.
