DIY Iron On Transfers

This past Halloween, we became a family of Minions.


To create the look we needed iron-on transfers of the Minion's logo. I was not interested in purchasing a $10-$20 dollar t-shirt per person so I started exploring other options.

Our local craft store has t-shirts in every color imaginable and added bonus; they were 50% off their normally low price.

Then I found this package of Avery Fabric Transfers.  We use a lot of Avery products at work and I am happy to find they have a lot of products for the home as well. The entire package cost $10.00 and had enough transfers inside to make a shirt for the entire family with an extra.


Getting the image you want on the transfer is easy. We just searched Google images for an image of the Minion logo.  The next step was to visit Avery's website. They have templates that you can use that do not require a download.

We uploaded our image and hit "print". {Well, of course we loaded the fabric template into the printer before that!}

After that we cut around the design, peeled off the backing and ironed it to our t-shirt.


Honestly, Avery makes this as simple as you can. These fabric transfers would be great for:

  • Class Reunions
  • Birthday Parties
  • Family Reunions
  • Halloween Costumes
  • Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties
  • Any gathering where matching t-shirts would make it better
  • or Gifts
If you are stuck on inspiration, Avery also includes an entire library full of clipart that would make great transfers. 

The total cost of our t-shirts was less than $5.00 per person.

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

Tour of Missouri: Montauk State Park and The Ozark National Scenic Riverway

August has become our summer vacation month. Summer activities have usually wound down and we like to get one last hooray in before school starts.  This summer we decided to travel our own state and visit a few places we have been dreaming of visiting but were a little too far for a weekend road trip. Despite last minute vacation glitches we managed to pull out of Kansas City around 9:00 in the morning headed to Montauk State Park just outside of Licking, Missouri.  Montauk State Park is one of three state parks where you can trout fish in Missouri. We are frequent visitors of  Bennett Springs  State Park but not Montauk, just because of the travel distance from our house. (Bennett Springs is about 3 hours and Montauk is double that.) Setting up and settling in was relatively easy. We took a tour of the park and hiked around exploring the spring that feeds into the river. The Park stocks this river each night with trout. The fishermen like this river be...

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget.  Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world.                                                In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things.  What is it? Well, it is a German food that is...
