How to Print Words onto a T-Shirt (For Kids)

One exciting moment that you will have in your lifetime is learning how to write. You first learn how to count to ten, and then you learn your ABC’s. Soon enough, you’re learning how to spell small words such as “dog” or “cat.”  The words slowly get bigger, and learn the trick of how to spell “Mississippi.” You have all of your spelling tests hanging on the refrigerator, and you get a high-five from Dad while Mom kisses your cheek with pride. You’re so happy that you want to show the whole world that you can write, and what better way to show that than printing on your clothing.

What you will need is a plain T-shirt of any color you choose, but remember the lighter color, the better. Find colorful fabric markers. Don’t forget to have a tablecloth. The last thing you want is getting in trouble for getting marker all over your nice kitchen table. Since you’re not old enough to drive, your mom or dad will need to drive you to the nearest craft store.

Step 1. Place the tablecloth on top of the kitchen table. Make sure it covers the whole table and doesn’t move easily.

Step 2. Place your t-shirt down and push those wrinkles away. A smooth t-shirt will work best.

Step 3. Pick out the words you want to put on the t-shirt. It can be anything you want.

Step 4. If you’re a righty, use your left hand to hold down the t-shirt. If you’re a lefty, use your right hand to hold down the t-shirt.

Step 5. With your writing hand, pick up the fabric marker and begin writing the words slowly and try to print the best you ever have done.

Step 6. Let it dry for about 5 minutes.

Step 7. Put the t-shirt on and be proud of your words on that t-shirt.
