DIY Shirt Idea for Mom

Being a mother is such a wonderful thing. I love it with all my heart; there really is nothing happier than being there when your little one learns something new and watching them be happy. Sometimes it can be so easy to focus on the tiring side of mothering, but I decided I needed a shirt dedicated to the happiness of it. So for this Mother’s Day, I thought I’d share a fun DIY shirt idea that you can make yourself (for yourself). And it’s a great reminder of the wonderfulness of motherhood.

It’s always fun to receive something made by the kiddos, but it’s also nice to receive something that you want for yourself. This shirt is just that. A fun reminder to enjoy the happiness that being a mother can bring. Below you can download the free svg files. Pick out your favorite two colors or just do one color. So many different options. This would make a great gift for a fellow mother friend.

Supplies needed to make this DIY shirt idea for mom:

• Heat Transfer Vinyl
• Blank Shirt
• Happy As A Mother Files

Step 1. Cut files.

Measure how big you want your words. I made mine about 7″ x 8″. Make sure the block and outline fonts are the same size. If you want them off a bit, then make the outline letters a little bigger. Don’t forget to flip the phrase horizontally. Then cut the designs on two different contrasting color vinyl.

Step 2. Iron on the vinyl.

Weed the vinyl and place the block vinyl first. Iron onto the shirt. Then place the outline on the block. I made my outline letters a little bit bigger so that the outline is off a bit. Iron it on. And you’re done. Now you have a fun DIY shirt idea to wear that is perfect for Mother’s Day and any other day as well!
