HTV t-shirt with glitter necklace and fabric flower

I made a couple onesies this past month with heat transfer vinyl and my Silhouette.  I love how little they are and how you can use all kinds of cute graphics.  After all babies don’t typically fight you on your outfit choice.  This week I decided my Little Lady (3) needed a HTV shirt of her own.

HTV is my second favorite medium for my Silhouette, my first being glass etching.  Ok maybe paper….and vinyl.  Ahh, I love them all!

Anyway, I really enjoy using HTV. When Baby Girl was born I made Little Lady this pillow that she proudly displays in her room.

 

You can take a look at my Big Sister Pillow Post and download the cut file.  I also made a grown up HTV pillow for my living room you can view here.

I chose to make a t-shirt for Little Lady with a glittery necklace, using glitter HTV, and flower; totally girly just like her.

I opted to create my own necklace using the Silhouette software, and I’m sharing the cut file with you!  You’ll find a link to download it toward the end of this post.

This shirt was my first foray into glitter HTV.  With a little help from my friends I found the perfect cut settings.  Speed 5, thickness 15, blade 6.  No mat.  It weeded perfectly!

I let Little Lady pick out a fabric scrap to use for the flower.  She picked a pale yellow, a girl after my own heart.  This shirt totally matches my living room.

To make the flower I followed this incredibly well laid out tutorial from My Sparkle. I’m not even going to try to show you my steps, just go take a look at hers.  I got a totally cute flower on the first try.

I decided to use a safety-pin to attach the flower.  That way I can wash the t-shirt.  HTV is washable, however because this is so glittery I may just hand wash it.

Feel free to download the necklace cut file, please use it for personal projects only.
