We have another fruity craft project and this time it’s all about the lemons because on a nice summers day, what’s more refreshing? Lemon themed slogans like ‘Main squeeze’ I absolutely love at the moment. I wanted to create my own take on this with a simple lemon top. I found this pink top, which I love and I knew the yellow and green vinyl would contrast really well.
Here’s a mood board of lemon themed ideas which inspired my ideas.
This could be recreated by hand cutting our vinyl or using a cutting machine. I’ve written the steps so you can give it a go at home.
You will need:
-Tshirt
-Iron (2 dot setting) or Heat Press (150 degrees)
-Scissors
-Pen
-Greaseproof paper
Step 1:
Design your lemon drawing on the cutting machine programme such as silhouette studio along with the text you want.
Step 2:
Cut the lemon with ‘Make’ written inside in yellow HappyFlex.
Step 3:
Weed your design revealing the lemon and then weed out the letters.
Step 4:
Type out ‘Lemonade’ and add your leaf designs to your artboard cutting programme and cut these out in green HappyFlex.
Step 5:
Pre-press your t-shirt to get rid of the creases and moisture in the fabric.
Step 6:
Add your yellow flex to the t-shirt and add greaseproof paper on top. Press this for 10 seconds with your iron or heat press.
Step 7:
Peel away the top layer of plastic and then repeat step 6 with your green flex pieces.
Now you’re ready to Make Lemonade! This t-shirt would be great to tuck into some denim shorts or jeans for a summer outfit!
