Crafting at Midnight Coach Shirt
See a super easy, quick, and cute personalized coach shirt that was made to thank my Kid’s coaches. It’s the end of their basketball seasons and this live crafting at midnight coach shirt was made last minute with minimal time, effort, and hassle.
See the YouTube Video:
The step by step t-shirt process is outlined below.
Designed In Design Space
This basketball coach shirt was inspired by multiple designs seen on Pinterest. The font is a bolder font called Arial Black that is on my computer. The design was made easily in Design Space. The pictures were FREE SVG files found on the internet.
Cut Out With My Cricut
Use an electronic cutting machine to cut out the design. The design can be cut out by hand, though there are some pretty intricate cuts in the image and the wording that would be best cut from an electronic cutter. I have and LOVE the Cricut maker. The maker quickly and easily cut out the words out of black iron on (heat transfer vinyl – HTV) material and the balls and whistle out of silver iron on material. The unwanted excess material was removed or also known as “weeded.”
The silver Heat Transfer Vinyl is from AliExpress. I purchased it for $3.87, now on SALE for $1.99. Just remember that purchases from AliExpress come directly from China, so please allow for longer shipping times. AliExpress is similar to Wish, but I prefer AliExpress because they have FREE Shipping items, like this one.
Iron On With The Easy Press
Ironing on the design was super simple and was done easily as seen in the YouTube video above. Using the Easy Press at 330 degrees, the bottom, silver layer was laid out and ironed on initially for 10-15 seconds. After pealing off the backing the next layer with the black words was pressed for 10-15 seconds. To fully set and adhere the adhesive vinyl a final press was done after the adhesive backing was removed for 15 seconds. A Teflon sheet was used whenever pressing in order to protect both the design and the heat press.
Viola! A personalized, unique, and cute Coaches gift. Hope you enjoyed seeing how this project turned out for coaches shirts and that you are now inspired to go out and create your own.
