Calling all Harry Potter fans! Â Have you read the books – watched the movies – loved it all?! Â I have a fun craft for you today, a Harry Potter Custom Applique Tee – I really love how this came out. Â My daughter is right in the middle of the series (love to watch their excitement when they start reading it) and so I wanted a shirt that was a little girly but not over-the-top. Â This could easy be made in a boy version – just switch out fabric choices. Â And there’s a no-sew option!!
See, super cute, right?! Â And it’s a pretty simple thing to make – I’m here to walk you through it. Â You can do this! Â It’s part of the Happy Harry Potter Series over at Rae Gun Ramblings – be sure to head over there for lots more Harry Potter craft ideas. Â If you like pinteresty images, here ya go for that:
Alrighty, let’s get started. Â You will need:
–shirt
–Harry Potter Logo (I just printed one off)
–Heat n Bond, Wonder Under, etc
First cut out the logo. Â Then trace around it on the paper side of the Heat n Bond. Â Be sure to trace it on backwards, as shown:
Then iron that whole piece onto the back of the fabric you want to use for the applique:
Then carefully cut along your lines, through the fabric and the attached Heat n Bond:
After it’s all cut out, peel the backing off. Â It will leave a glue residue on the back of the fabric – that’s just what you want:
Put the fabric cutout onto the shirt, and iron it into place. Â The ironing will melt the glue and adhere the fabric to the shirt.
You can be done at that point. Â The glue is enough to hold the logo on. Â So if you want no-sew, you’re good to go. Â I think it looks a little nicer when the edges of the design are stitched around, so I went ahead and did that. Â Just go slow – you can do it:
An up-close view of the stitching outline:
Wear and enjoy!! Â If you’re wondering about the super-awesome necklace she’s wearing, it’s from Pieces by Polly – isn’t it the cutest?! Â She also sent us a custom letter from Hogwarts – so so cool – if you have a kiddo who loves Harry Potter books, be sure to check out her shop.
