Stenciled St Patricks Day Shamrock Tshirt for Kids

Share & Help Me Grow

Today, I am happy to introduce Amanda from The Refurbished Home because I am NOT a crafty person and SHE IS! Check out this adorable DIY Stenciled St. Patrick’s Day t-shirt idea…

My son and I love doing projects together, and one day, while wandering on Pinterest, we fell in love with this heart stamped tote from Clumsy Crafter. With just a little bit of tweaking we came up with a slightly more kid-friendly method and created this fun Shamrock Shirt.

You will need:

  • T-Shirt
  • Green fabric paint
  • Freezer paper
  • Stencil (Free Printable Below)
  • Iron
  • Small dish for paint (you may want to use something disposable)
  • Cotton swabs

Begin by cutting out your stencil. Tape your printed shamrock onto freezer paper (not the shiny side) and place both over a cutting mat. Use an X-acto knife to cut out the shapes.

Cut out the letters first.

Take special care to not remove the middle of the U or the C

Then cut out the shamrock shape.

Next, iron the freezer paper stencil onto the shirt.  Be sure to thoroughly attach the edges.

Then slide some more freezer paper into the shirt so that your paint will not bleed through to the back.  I actually used a file folder… don’t ask because I have no idea why.

Now it’s time for the kids to get involved! Put some paint into a small dish (about a nickel size) and give the kids a cotton swab.

Apply the paint by making dots with the cotton swab. Make sure to completely fill in the letters, and to thoroughly outline the Shamrock for the best effect.

When you are finished it should look something like this. My paint said to allow 4 hours drying time before touching. Follow the instructions on your specific brand of paint.

After the proper drying time, peel away the freezer paper stencil.

Voila! And your kids will LOVE getting to tell everyone that they made their own shirt.  I know mine sure has.
