Okay, so I saw this “mimi t-shirt” thing trending, and I thought, “I gotta try making one myself!” I mean, how hard could it be, right? Famous last words.
First, I got a plain white t-shirt. Just a regular one from the store, nothing fancy. Then I needed a design. I spent, like, an hour just scrolling through stuff online, totally overwhelmed. Finally, I decided to keep it simple – just the word “mimi” in a cute, bubbly font.
Finding the Right Font
- I went on my go to websites.
- I looked thourgh about 50 fonts. Seriously.
- I picked a font name “Boogaloo”,it’s free.
Next, I printed the design out on some transfer paper I found in my craft box. It was probably, like, five years old, but whatever. I followed the instructions on the package… or at least, I think I did.
Then came the tricky part: ironing it on. I set up my ironing board and got my iron nice and hot. I carefully placed the transfer paper on the shirt, design-side down, and started ironing. I moved the iron back and forth, pressing down hard, hoping for the best.
I kept ironing for what felt like forever. The instructions said something about “even pressure” and “medium heat,” but honestly, I was just winging it. I was so scared of burning the shirt or messing up the design.
Finally, I figured it had been long enough. I slowly peeled back the transfer paper… and it looked… okay? Some parts were a little faded, and the edges weren’t perfect, but hey, it was recognizable! It actually said “mimi” on the shirt!
So, there you have it. My DIY “mimi t-shirt”. It’s not perfect, but I made it myself, and that’s what counts, right? Plus, it was way cheaper than buying one online. Now I can wear my “mimi” shirt and feel all proud of myself. Win-win!
