How to Embellish a Plain T-Shirt (no sewing required)

I've had so much fun doing all the craft tutorials I've found on Pinterest lately that I was inspired to create one myself. This is my first ever tutorial and it's perfect for back-to-school time!

Are you tired of all the plain t-shirts in your wardrobe? If so, I'm going to show you a quick and easy way to take that tee from drab to fab! This simple trick uses fabric scrapbook embellishments. And the best part is there's no sewing required!

Here's the look:

The supplies: T-shirt, fabric scrapbook dimensional stickers (I found these on clearance at Michael's for only $2), permanent fabric glue (I used Aleene's Super Fabric adhesive) and cardboard.

Step 1- Place cardboard inside the t-shirt where you want to glue the flowers. The cardboard prevents the glue from seeping to the back of the shirt.
Step 2- Peel the foam sticker off the back of the flower embellishment. You won't be using those.

Step 3- Add the fabric glue to the felt part of the embellishment. It is important to use a permanent fabric glue. This ensures that the glue will not come off during washing.

Step 4- Press down firmly to set the flower where you want to adhere it to the t-shirt.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining flower embellishments.


Let the glue completely dry for 24 hours before wearing.


Wasn't that so simple? Yet so stylish!
