Stain, Stain, Go AWAY!! DIY

You know what I hate? When your little one drops or spills something on a perfectly good shirt.{sometimes even brand new}

Today I have a precious little DIY project that's gonna take care of your stained shirt problem. No sewing skills needed!

Materials:
*stained shirt{shouldn't be too hard to find}
*fabric scraps large enough to cover stain
*iron
*scissors
*Heat-n-Bond (available @ fabric and craft stores)




















First, carefully read the directions for your Heat-n-Bond.  Usually, you just iron it on to the back of your fabric. Do this BEFORE you cut your shapes.{trust me}

Then decide what cute little shapes you want to be on the shirt and cut them out of your fabric and peel off the paper backing. You can trace or draw it on the back if that makes you feel more comfortable.


 

















Place your fabric cut outs over the stains and follow the directions for ironing it to the shirt.


























Voila! You have not only saved a once useless shirt, but you have created something special for your little one.

























This could be done on pretty much anything with a stain. I'm thinking about fixing a pillowcase. Feel free to add your ideas in the comments below and if you need help commenting click here.

I would love to see what you come up with!
