Looking for a fun, creative project that won't break the bank? Turn plain, inexpensive t-shirts into unique, personalized kids' shirts with patches from Patch Collection! This DIY project is perfect for kids who want to express their individuality and for parents who want to keep costs low. Here's how you can create these adorable shirts in just a few simple steps.
Materials Needed:
- Plain t-shirts (you can get them from budget-friendly stores)
- Patches from Patch Collection
- Iron
- Ironing board or a flat, heat-resistant surface
- A piece of thin cloth or parchment paper (for ironing over the patches)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Choose Your Shirts and Patches:
Start by selecting plain t-shirts in your child’s favorite colors. Next, visit Patch Collection’s website to browse their extensive range of patches. From playful animals and sports themes to magical unicorns and superheroes, there's something for every child's taste.
- Plan Your Design:
Lay the t-shirt flat and arrange the patches on it to decide on your design. Get creative! You can place patches on the front, back, sleeves, or even the hemline. Let your child help with this step to make it even more special.
- Prepare for Ironing:
Preheat your iron to the temperature recommended for the fabric of your t-shirt. Place the t-shirt on the ironing board, ensuring it is wrinkle-free. Position the patches where you want them to be permanently attached.
- Iron the Patches:
Place a thin cloth or parchment paper over the patch to protect it from direct heat. Press the iron firmly over the patch for 30-60 seconds, applying steady pressure. Check if the patch has adhered to the shirt, and if needed, iron for a few more seconds.
- Cool Down:
Allow the shirt to cool completely before wearing. This ensures the patches are securely attached.

Your custom shirt is ready! These DIY patched shirts make fantastic gifts, are great for themed parties, or simply add a bit of fun to everyday wear. Plus, they offer a wonderful bonding activity for you and your kids.
