In Kindergarten, everything is celebrated! The 100th day of school is no exception. Check out this easy DIY 100-day-of-school shirt project for students or teachers!

1. Gather Your Materials

Gathering Materials: shirt, wooden buttons, iron-on vinyl, iron, glue gun, and Cricut.

  • Thrifted t-shirt

  • Iron-on vinyl

  • 100 small objects (in this case wooden buttons)

  • Hot glue gun

  • Iron

  • Cricut (or another vinyl cutter)

2. Choose Your Vinyl

Choose and cut your vinyl. Don’t forget to mirror it if you’re using a Cricut!

Choose the phrase for your shirt, choose the color, choose the font, etc. Have some fun with it and make it your own! Here are some ideas to get you started.

Position the vinyl on your shirt and apply even heat. Be careful not to press too hard on the vinyl for it to move while applying.

3. Apply to Your Shirt

Remember that iron-on works best when your material is flat and clean and you have a heat protectant in between the layers. Prep your material by briefly applying heat to it before placing the vinyl. Place it how you want and apply even heat for about 15-20 seconds. Check adhesion by peeling away one corner to test.

4. Hot Glue on 100 Objects

Your 100 objects could be anything! When choosing objects, make sure to keep in mind whether or not you want to be able to wash the shirt, wear it multiple times, or be able to move around easily in it.

Ideas for 100 small objects to choose from include:

Hot glue your objects to your shirt! These are wooden buttons from Amazon.
