Make Iron-On Plastic Bag Clothing Decals

I'm not joking when I say that nearly every post over at Filth Wizardry amazes and excites me. So, let me just say she did it again! This time, her brilliant idea was to fuse plastic bags ONTO clothing to serve as iron-on decals. You can recycle bags you already have on hand (this bunny is made from cut up shapes and permanent marker).She tested a variety of materials and techniques, so check her blog to see what works and what doesn't.

Project Estimate:

A t-shirt, on hand
Plastic bags, various colors (or printed), on hand

Total: FREE

I saw this, too, and I loved it! I’ll have to try this because my kids seem to stain t-shirts faster than I can buy them. They’d love these cute decals! :)

I’ve seen how to fuse them together but not on clothing! What a great idea.
