We're so excited for TURKEY DAY! In less than a week we'll all be enjoying all that yummy food...and spending time with family and friends...what a perfect holiday! These adorable Turkey Day Tie & Suspenders shirts are available on my Etsy site for $12 just click here if you'd like one.
These shirts are SUPER easy to make. Its another "no-sew" project and you can use variations of the fabrics for different occasions/holidays or everyday. Here's what you'll need:
Fabric
Heat and Bond paper
Iron
Scissors
Eyes
Glue gun
Fray Block (optional)
-Draw a tie patter (I usually make one based on the size shirt I'm using...this one is a 2-4 yr boys shirt from H&M).
-Transfer Tie patter to Heat and Bond paper and cut out an appropriate size fabric (leave some excess on patter)
-Put iron on medium and place heat and bond traced tie over wrong side of fabric for 6 seconds
-When cooled, cut out the tie pattern
-Peel paper off Heat and Bond and then place on shirt and iron on (about 10 seconds)
For suspenders:
-I used 2.5 inch strips of fabric (length depends on your shirt size so measure)
-Fold over in half and press to give a mid-line look
-Then fold over 2 sides and press again so that the "suspender" is about 1 inch wide
-Add Heat and Bond paper to "suspender" then attach to shirt (same way as above)
Use fabric, ribbon, and craft eyes to create the "turkey". I attached these items with Heat and Bond and glue gun. Have fun!!
