School T-Shirt Freebies :)

A few weeks ago I made some t-shirts for school so I thought I would share what I came up with.



The designs are free, but you have to make the shirts :)  Don't worry - it's SUPER easy!!!  All you need are white t-shirts and t-shirt transfer paper.  I got a pack of three heavyweight t-shirts at Michaels.  I used a coupon and just paid a few bucks.  You can get the transfer paper at Walmart, Target, Staples, etc....


I have the images all ready to print onto the transfer paper - the images have to be flipped (mirror image) to transfer properly so print them out just the way they are!  I teach First grade but I added some Kindergarten, Second and Third grade designs too! 

Click on the image below to download the printable:
Here is the link to "Happy 100th Day of Kindergarten"

 
Click here for the link to the UNFLIPPED versions.

If you don't want to make a shirt, these would be great on totebags, aprons, etc!  

After I made these, my daughter and her BFF wanted me to make them matching Volleyball outfits so I thought I'd post a picture of that for fun :) 





Have a GREAT weekend!

  21. Just added Third grade for you :)

    ReplyDelete

  22. It should already be flipped (mirror image). I checked it and it appears that way to me - check it again and let me know if something happened to it.

    ReplyDelete

  23. So simple! You are wonderful! :) How do they hold up when you wash them?

    ReplyDelete

  24. Wash inside out in cold. I try to remember to hang them dry (I've made some before), but sometimes forget. The dryer can make the image crack after awhile. They do fade over time. They last a good while though :)

    ReplyDelete

  25. What a wonderful idea! THANKS!!!!

    ReplyDelete

  26. could you post a 4th grade. This is an amazing idea.

    ReplyDelete

  27. Mrs. Gilchrist, do you happen to have the design not flipped? I was thinking of trying it on a dark shirt and I know the dark transfers don't have to be flipped. Thanks so much for doing these designs. You Rock!

  33. These are sooo cute! Unfortunately I teach TP (transitional primary)--does anyone know where there might be a TP site or blogger. I am new to this all! I don't know how much work this involves, but would you consider making a TP ricks transfer? Thanks, Fran

  34. Super excited to make the t-shirts. I just printed the kindergarten Rocks. The stencil seems smaller than the one first grade one in the photo. (I realize Kinder. is one long word vs. first grade is two words but it still seems smaller.) When printed Kinder. rocks measures approx. 4x6 is that correct or did I do something wrong?

  35. Amy - That doesn't sound right. It should have printed on a full sheet (8.5 x 11). Did you download the pdf from google docs? I just tried it and it worked right for me. I'm thinking that you may have done something other that download the original pdf or if so, maybe google docs was on the fritz at the time (that happens occasionally).

  36. TP Treasures - if you give me your e-mail I will send that to you.

  37. Thanks so much for sharing these! I actually messed up my first one...note to self, double check to make sure it's not upside down :( oh well...But I did make 2 more for my teaching partners and I'm super excited to give them a back to school gift! Thanks again, I love how they turned out (well except for my messed up one :)

  45. Is there anyway to get the 100th day to say Kindegarten instead of school? I thought it would be fun to do these for the class and let them all autograph each others that day....

  56. I love these. Thanks so much for sharing. I was wondering how you got yours to look so good. I am using a transfer paper, but you can see all the white around it. Did you actually cut all around every little piece of the transfer paper or am I just using the wrong kind. This is my first try at this. :)

    ReplyDelete

  57. I teach Pre-K...what program did you use to make these? I would love to make a Pre-K rocks t-shirt:)
