Make a beautiful and fun Valentine T-Shirt for your kiddos (or you) using heat transfer vinyl and this free cut file.
Back in December I shared the storm trooper t-shirt I made for my son using heat transfer vinyl. Ever since then, my daughter has asked me, almost daily, when I was going to make her a Valentine t-shirt. I set aside some time to finally design something fun for Valentine’s Day. I thought a simple heart with love written inside would be just perfect. I designed and cut my design using my silhouette. I used Expressions Vinyl heat transfer vinyl. It’s my favorite heat transfer vinyl. It cuts great and it’s easy to take out the excess vinyl, leaving only the design.
I made it so quickly that I didn’t take pictures of the process, but you can see just how to do it by reading the steps in the storm trooper t-shirt post. The one thing to remember is to flip your image so it cuts the design backward. That is always the most crucial step.
I thought it was so cute, that I had to make one for baby sister too. I found some really inexpensive plain white t-shirts at Walmart and then I spotted these cute red skirts. I mean, what goes better with a cute Valentine t-shirt than a red poofy skirt?!?!

Would one of your littles love this shirt? I’m thinking that I need to make one for me so the three of us could all match. Do you do that with your kids? Luckily they are little enough that they will think it’s still cool, right?!
Happy Crafting!

Here are some other heat transfer vinyl t-shirt projects you might like.
Dear Liz:
I love your heart t-shirt. I don’t have a crickett cutter, and I don’t know which type of vinyl to use.
Can this t-shirt be done as shown without a crickett cutter?
Much Thanks!

Hi Geraldine! This shirt can be made with out using a cutting tool. You could always print out the image and cut it out of freezer paper, creating a freezer paper stencil that you can then use red fabric paint to make the shirt. I have never tried to cut out iron on vinyl with anything other than a cutting tool. But I know that you could create a freezer paper stencil with out a cutting tool. You can see just how to do that from this post. http://lizoncall.com/2012/09/06/crafting-on-dime-see-vanessa-craft/
