DIY Baymax shirt

Do you have Baymax fans? I have two in my house and they love Baymax. I can't count how many times we have watched the movie and lost track of how many times a day they say quotes from the movie. I even them made them a Baymax costume.

I really liked this template I found from Koalipops and knew it would be a perfect template to use and make it into a shirt. 

I was able to take Koalipops template and make it into this template. 

I am so excited about the end result and the shirt turned out 

better than I had hoped. 

This Baymax template is available for download here.

To make this shirt, all you will need is a t-shirt and t-shirt iron on transfer paper. On the back of the iron on transfer package, there are directions for how to print your image and transfer your image onto the t-shirt. There are two different kinds of iron on paper. One for transferring onto light colors and another for transferring onto dark colors. Buy the appropriate iron on transfer paper for the color of shirt you have choose. 

I know your Baymax fans are going to love this shirt just like my fans love theirs!

Simple DIY Superhero Costumes

My boys love superheros and they like to dress up and play pretend but I just cannot afford to buy every single dress up they want. I found this superhero costume tutorial from Twin Dragonfly Designs years ago and glad I did because this pattern is one of the simplest to make. Both of my boys got to chose one superhero.

                                                              

For my fabric I used a heavy cotton fabric instead of felt and also used snaps instead of ribbon on the sides of the costume so below are additional instructions for these changes.

I searched for a Baymax template I could use but there are not many options so I ended up creating my own. It is very simple template and worked perfectly with the superhero costume pattern.

Additional Instructions

1. After cutting out the pattern and template, use ultra hold heat and bond to attach the either the Baymax template or Incredible template to the costume. Follow the directions on the back of the package. 

2. Next if you used a different fabric other then felt, you can either sew on double fold biased binding tape or fold and sew over all the edges of the fabric to avoid fraying. 

3. Last step is adding snaps. There are snap tools you can buy from craft stores and they are not difficult to use. If you choose to not to add snaps and use ribbon then you can follow the instructions in the original superhero tutorial. 

Now your kids are ready to save the world!
