Last summer my mom handed me several of my brother's t-shirts from his childhood. Some of them I have added to Michael's t-shirts, but she had asked for these three t-shirt to be made into some type of wall art for her Christmas gift. The big thing was that she didn't want the shirts cut. So, what to do when you are not allowed to cut them? Here's what I came up with and I think it turned out pretty well.
I first washed the shirts. I know that they were clean, but had been sitting around my mom's house and wanted to freshen them up. Michael decided that he really wanted to wear one of the shirts and was actually a little upset with me when I told him he wasn't going to get to keep it.
You'll only need a t-shirt and a 12x12 scrapbook frame. I got this from Michaels and it was at a fairly decent price.
You'll want to try and center the picture as best you can in the frame and then start folding the shirt into the frame.
Once you get the shirt folded in the frame like I did above, you'll want to then put the backing back on the frame.
There you have it! I probably could have moved up the picture so that the collar is not visible.
My mom was so happy with them and says they look really good in my brother's old bedroom. This is such a simple and cheap way to make that wonderful keepsake of special t-shirts.
