Do you want to know why this is possibly one of the best DIY tutorials I have posted so far?

  • It takes MAXIMUM 5 minutes
  • It looks completely professional
  • It can be customized to your likes
  • It can be made ridiculously cheap

I used things I already had which made it dirt cheap. M saw me making something using some scrap Sesame Street fabrics that I got off Swapmamas. Yup, I got it practically for free! He got so excited, and started yelling “beebo, beebo!” (Big Bird). I decided that I needed to make something quick that he can use now.

I had a few drab shirts that were consignment shop finds and hand-me-downs that I simply wasn’t using. Children’s clothing should be bright and vibrant, and these were too drab. This yellow shirt from H&M was washed out and dull. It was the perfect choice.

 

I simply cut out the shapes from the fabric and glued them onto the shirt! You can do it with any fabric that has your child’s favorite characters – or even one that just has a fun, bold print. Choose a fabric that will not fray if cut out (mine is flannel).

M says yells out the names of his favorite characters every time he sees the shirt! He loves looking down at it and “talking” to Big Bird and Elmo. He just growls at Cookie Monster…
