Making a personlized birthday shirt.

There's going to come a day when my sweet little boy isn't going to let me plaster his age on the back of a special shirt, just for him to wear on his birthday.  I'm guessing that day will arrive around the time his age starts ending in -teen. 

However, that day isn't today... so here we go!  :)

It all started when I was in WalMart last week, in the baby/toddler department, picking up some diapers and some new Pjs for little guy.  I spotted this shirt, and thought it would be great for Brodie to wear for his birthday party.   Check out that price tag- only $3.50.  So, it is a 5T, and it isn't going to fit for long, but for less than $4, I don't really care.  :)

Plus, the front design goes Oh-So-Well with our baseball theme.

I mean, seriously, how cute is that?

I decided to make it even better and add his name to the back.  I actually went to Hobby Lobby, and almost purchased individual iron on letters, but then I remembered I already had printable transfer paper at home.  Of course, you know I picked up something for the house while I was there, with my newly justified savings.  haha!

So I went home and created a document with his name and a large six.  If you've never printed on transfer paper before, you have to change your settings to print the mirror image.

I then cut out the 6 and the letters, and ironed them on.  I probably would have chosen red, to carry over the design from the front, but Brodie wanted blue- and birthday guy gets what he wants.  :)

So, for less than $4 we have a personalized shirt for Brodie to wear this his baseball party!  He loves it!
