Day 8 -- Create a Personalized Shirt



Create a t-shirt for your dolls.
This could be so much fun --
No matter what theme you are exploring with your dolls, 
you can make/create a shirt to go with it.


A few years ago when Doll Diaries was holding Camp Doll Diaries,
they offered the logo for printing.

We made t-shirts and bags using their logo for our dolls.
We ran the logo through our computer on iron-on paper.
{The iron-on printables are so easy to create.}
Use the instructions on the iron-on package or look on YouTube for great tutorials.
All you need {in addition to the transfer paper, the image, and help with the iron} 
is a simple doll t-shirt.
We've found 18" doll shirts at Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's. 
{With a 40% off coupon it might be almost as cheap as sewing your own t-shirt.}


If you don't have access to iron-on paper and a computer generated image, 
you can use a patch to make an adorable shirt.

When we were planning a trip to Disney we wanted to make a Minnie shirt.
This Minnie patch worked perfectly!


More recently we wanted to make a Jr. Ranger shirt for our national park visits.
{There must not be too many 18" Jr. Rangers out there because the 
XXS shirts at the gift shop were still HUGE on our dolls! hee, hee } 

The adorable Super Inky was so kind to share her shirt idea with us,
and now we're all set.

Try making a customized shirt for your doll -- the possibilities are endless!
If you don't want to make a shirt, but have a little extra cash to spend, there are many 
Etsy shoppe owners that make items for 18" dolls that would be happy to do a custom tee.
You just need to ask around.
