DIY Clover Shirt with a Cricut Machine

Adding an ombre clover shape to a shirt is easy with your Cricut machine and some paint. So simple yet so cute. Plus it will keep your kids from getting pinched. Perfect right? So let’s get started!

SUPPLIES

– Americana Paint – Fabric Painting Medium – White t-shirt – Stencil brush – Freezer paper – Ruler – Iron – Cricut machine – Clover SVG file

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cutting the Freezer Paper

First, you will want to cut your freezer paper into a clover shape. I used my Cricut machine to do this along with a clover SVG file.

Remove the cut freezer paper from the mat and locate your design on your shirt. Put the paper with the shiny side down onto the shirt.

Add Freezer Paper to Your Shirt

Once the design is in place, use an iron to go over the freezer paper for a few seconds. The freezer paper coating will melt and bond it temporarily to the shirt.

Painting Your Clover Shirt

Mix each of your paint colors 2 to 1 with the fabric painting medium.

Be sure to add scrap cardboard or card stock between the front and the back of your shirt. Then start painting with each color.
