I received my last Old Schoolhouse and thought the home schooled rindstone shirt was really cute. Then I went to the website.
http://www.couturemoms.com And while I thought the shirts were really cute they were WAY to EXPENSIVE. Sorry I will NEVER spend $40 on a shirt. So I did what I always do!!! 
I made one myself. (This is part of why Patrice named me Prairie Lady)
I found nice black tshirts for $6.50 at walmart. Then I found Iron on rindstones in the craft department for $2.00. They were on sticky paper in strips. I removed all the stones. Then I laid out the letters on at a time. Then stuck them to the original sticky paper that the stones had been on. And worked on it one letter at a time.They moved really really easily. I think they turned out pretty good. Can't wait to mail Mom heres! And I loved the idea your a mom to the ____ power!
I have the MOM to the nth power tee from Couture Moms and yes, I paid $28.99 on sale. These are NOT rhinestones, they are Swarovski Crystals. I have worn and washed (and dryed in my dryer) my shirt literally dozens of times and NOT ONE cyrstal has fallen off. Now I shop that site for every gift I give...you get what you pay for. Good idea on the do it your self, but I LOVE quality. I have tried the iron on stones before and one time in the dryer - they fall off..I don't have time to dry flat or hang dry.
ReplyDeleteI was online tonight looking to buy one of these shirts and realized just how much they cost, ouch! After reading your blog I was inspired to do my own so I went out and bought the stuff! Let's just say my 1st one didnt come out so hot, then by the 2nd one I finally was getting the hang of it and it looks awesome, I am making them for myself and my 2 best friends! Spent $5 on clearence t shirts and $1.59 on a package of jewels...awesome! thanks so much!!!!!
