DIY Vintage Shirt | Freezer Paper Shirts

I took a few weeks off to prepare for summer, and get my new Etsy shop up and running. I have to say though, I have missed doing DIY projects. To kick off the summer months, I found a bunch of white shirts on clearance and decided to give them an upgrade. This DIY Vintage Shirt is so easy to make, and you probably already have everything you need on hand!

You can customize these DIY Vintage shirts with any design you want! I had to go with a classic Captain American shirt, but you can do any design you want!

DIY Faux Stain Glass Art

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is right around the corner! One of my favorite things to do with the kiddos is make hand made gifts to give to their Grandparents. This DIY Faux Stain Glass Art is simple enough that the kids can make them, but can also be customized!

I decided to make a Spider Man Faux Stain Glass, but like I said, you can do what ever you want. If you have to buy everything, it cost you under $5 to make! I already had everything on hand, so it cost me absolutely nothing!

For this project you will need:

A piece of glass (I used one from a Dollar Tree frame)
School Glue
Paint
Paint Brushes
Coloring page of choice

To see exactly how easy this DIY Faux Stain Glass Art Project is, check out the video below!

The only down side to this project is waiting for everything to dry. You can always speed up this process by using a blow dryer on low heat to dry everything. If you have a steady hand and an eye for drawing, you can free hand your image. Since I have neither, I just did a quick Google Search for coloring pages and found one that I liked.

This project turned out great, and it was so much fun to make! If you love Nerdy Crafts, be sure to check out our Nerds Only section. We also put out new DIY videos on our YouTube Channel every week, so be sure to subscribe!

Easy DIY Reversible Apron!

When I first started this blog, one of my first projects was a DIY Apron. To this day it is still one of my most popular posts. The directions were a little lack luster, so I wanted to remake it. I also wanted to include a free printable pattern to make the process easier. For this Easy DIY Reversible Apron I went with a Deadpool theme. But, the options are endless with this pattern.

The pattern I included two different options for the waist and neck strap. Option A includes a banded waist, while Option B is a more simple option without the band.

DIY Bleach Stain Shirt!

One of my first projects on this blog was a Hello Kitty Bleach Shirt that I used vinyl to create the design. I love that shirt, and still have it. I wanted to make some more fun shirts, but instead of using vinyl, I opted to use freezer paper to make the design. These DIY Bleach Stain shirt are super easy to make, and fun to make.

I opted to make a Boba Fett inspired shirt using the Mandalorian symbol. But, you can make any design you want! I love using freezer paper for crafts because it is easily available, and cheap!

DIY Screen Printing with Vinyl!

If you have been around for a while, you know I have a passion for my Silhouette cutting machine. You can use it to make decals for shirts, design and print your own stickers, the projects are endless! I love cutting vinyl designs, but I always felt like I was wasting the negative of the cuts. But, did you know you can use the negatives to do your own DIY Screen Printing with vinyl?

For this project I used I used the negative of a decal I cut, of course I went with a Star Wars theme. You will also need the following:

Embroidery Hoop
Fabric Ink
Squeegee, or putty knife
Sheer fabric (I used an old sheer curtain)
Painters Tape or masking tape

If you are careful and wash your screen with cold water after, you can reuse the screen and vinyl to make multiple prints. Check out the video below to see how to do this DIY Screen printing with vinyl project!

The key to getting a good print is to make sure you press your vinyl down and remove as many air bubbles as possible. Thicker fonts and designs also work better with the project.

If you want to use the same template that I used in this project, you can grab the free template below!

DIY Power Rangers Shirt!

Who is excited about the new Power Rangers Movie?!?! ME!!!! I grew up watch the Power Rangers, and love them! The last movie was kind of a let down, so I am hoping that this one makes up for it! I have so many shirts, but it turns out that I do not have a single Power Ranger shirt! So, I decided to make my own DIY Power Rangers Shirt!

I used freezer paper for the main diamond outlines, and then using my Silhouette cutting machine to cut out the decal in the center.

DIY Nerdy Shrinky Dink Bracelets!

Lately I have been a little obsessed with Shrinky Dink. It is just such a fun product to play with! You can make charms, pins and even things like sun catchers with it! I decided I wanted to play around with it and make some fun DIY Nerdy Shrinky Dink Bracelets!

You only need a few basic things to make these. I used some left over chains and clasps that I had from a previous project, so the only thing I needed to buy was the Shrinky Dink.

DIY Legend of Zelda Pillow! No Sew!

Over the last weekend I pulled out some of my old video consoles and had a blast playing. One thing that my hubby and I agree on is that Legend of Zelda is our all time favorite game. It inspired me to do some fun “old school” nerdy crafts. Of course, we had to start off with this DIY Legend of Zelda Pillow!

What I love most is that I did not have to sew a thing! I did not even use hot glue to make the pillow or adhere the decal! I did use my Silhouette cutting machine to cut the decal out though. It was my first time using it to cut fabric, and it worked out perfectly!
