Our family is getting ready for some FOOTBALL with the playoffs in just a few hours.

Now that the Green Bay Packers are out, our devotion has switched to the Denver Broncos…at least for Lily and I. She has been asking for a Broncos jersey but it just hasn’t happened yet. A true fan needs to be properly outfitted so today, my fabulous 11 year-old daughter made this adorable t-shirt in about 15 minutes. She is such a rock star that I had to share her handiwork. Now this tutorial is requires  a Silhouette or Cricut machine:

Materials needed:

• navy t-hirt
• iron on vinyl in watermelon and white
• computer
• silhouette/Cricut machine
• iron

1. First step is to create your design. Lily chose a font called “I wish I were Taller” which I found funny.
2. She added a black and white Broncos graphic. She used the Trace function in the Silhouette software to highlight the areas she wanted the machine to “cut”.
3. After tracing the image, she deleted the image leaving only the outline.
4. She used the Transform function to Flip Horizontally the image. This is necessary because the you want the inverse image as it will be ironed on.
5. Cut the design with the Silhouette machine
6. Remove the background vinyl leaving only the desired image on the clear plastic backing.
7. Set iron on hottest dry setting.
8. Put image on desired location of shirt.
9. Iron for 10-15 seconds or follow instruction of your vinyl. Use hard pressure. Keep it moving so as not to melt the vinyl.
10. Remove plastic.
