Peek a BOO!

Sue Eldred

My sweet little grandson will soon be celebrating his first Halloween…

Inspired by our latest game, I decided to make him a cute little shirt to wear, and with the help of Joy® iron-on embroidered letters, making it was super easy.

Instructions:

prewash cotton T-shirt
set iron to cotton setting
position letters with shiny side down on garment
cover letters with a fine cloth
with firm pressure iron for 25 seconds
turn shirt inside out then iron the back of the letters for 25 seconds
allow to cool for 1 minute before cooling

Isn’t he adorable? Looking at this picture, I’m thinking really big googly eyes, or iron-on emojis would look so cute inside the “O’s”.

You can find Joy embroidered iron-on numbers and letters in a variety of fonts, colors and sizes at your local craft store.
