Radiant Road Trip Shirts

This upcoming weekend the Nearly Normal Girls are going a road trip with their bestie, Susie. The three of us will be assisting Susie's awesome sister photograph an adorable 4th of July wedding in Missouri. Needless to say, we are all thrilled and super excited to be road warriors this weekend. We were already gifted an amazing 4th of July road trip kit (thanks Anne!), but Kimmy and I felt we could take our preparation even farther. The rest is history.

GATHER
  • Printable Iron-on transfer sheets
  • Pre-washed white t-shirts
  • Jacquard iDye (we used chartreuse)
  • Rubber bands


1. Use your favorite tie-dye design and tie it off tightly with rubber bands.

2. Follow direction on iDye to turn your washing machine into a tie-dye hot tub. (Remember to stir water well before putting the shirts into it)

3. While your shirts are soaking up the color, create the iron-on designs. Don't forget that any words must be backwards to be readable on the t-shirt.
4. Cut around your t-shirt design to eliminate as much blank space as you desire. The white parts of the transfer will iron-on as clear.
5. Hold hot iron on the back-side of the transfers for 10-15 seconds and set aside to let cool.
6. Peel off the cool white backing of the transfer carefully to prevent cracking and peeling.
