Watch The Video Tutorial
To watch this video in HD, click play, then hover over the video and click the gear. A window will pop up allowing you to select a better quality. You Tube always starts out in low res. Ugh. It’s really hard to see. Just know, I’ve got you covered if you want to see it crystal clear!
Follow The Step-By-Step Instructions for Making A Fat Tuesday Graphic Tee:
- Open Design Space and resize the design to fit your tee.
- Cut each layer of color.
- Apply each layer separately, adjusting heat depending on your tee and the type of iron on you’re using. (Tip: Allow layers to cool completely between each application and remove protective layer. Reapply used, less sticky, protective layer before ironing over an applied section.
- Wear! :)
Want to make a mug too?! Yay! I’ll be posting that fun tutorial tomorrow so stay tuned!
