How To Make The Cutest 100 Days of School Shirt With Googly Eyes

1. Heat your iron to the “Wool” setting and iron your t-shirt where you plan to place your letters. You don’t want wrinkles to get trapped under your letters!

2. Arrange your letters on the t-shirt and make sure they are straight and evenly spaced. You can even use a level/ruler if you don’t trust your eyes 😜

3. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper over the letters and iron according to the instructions on the lettering package. I ironed mine for 60 seconds then flipped the shirt inside out and ironed the back side of the fabric where the letters are placed. Make sure each letter gets ironed for the same amount to time.

Helpful Tips

Eye Survived 100 Days of School Shirt

1.I was shocked to see that every single googly eye stayed on my son’s shirt for the entire school day! I expected him to come home with 10 googly eyes instead of 100 😅. The white googly eyes were self adhesive but the colored eyes were not. I used hot glue to attach these eyes and they stayed put all day.

2.You can use any color shirt and any size googly eyes you like! Make this cute DIY shirt uniquely special for your child!

3.I would NOT recommend washing this shirt. The googly eyes will most likely fall off in the washing machine.

4.Make sure to iron both sides of your shirt when applying iron on letters. This will guarantee that your letters stick to your shirt completely! Below are additional instructions for perfecting iron on lettering!
