Apple T-Shirts

Here, 15 craft projects that let you dye, sew, print, and more to create your own custom T-shirts for yourself or your kids.
Games at a family reunion wouldn't be complete without a starting lineup of shirts for everyone to wear during the water-balloon toss, three-legged race, and doughnut-eating contest. Begin with matching apple-motif tees and then stencil numbers on the back with fabric paint.
Our motifs (including starfish, more correctly known as sea stars) are charming on kids' beachwear, and the process is easy enough for small helpers.
How to Make the Printed T-Shirt with Sea Stars and Sea Horses
Wet, wild, and, yes, a little messy, tie-dyeing is the perfect way to keep kids entertained on a summer day while creating unique T-shirts and other accessories.
Add colorful images to children's T-shirts using the ancient art of batik, a wax-resist-dyeing technique.
With this special technique and some creativity, you can transform a plain tee into something special.
With our templates, embroidering a T-shirt has never been so easy. Choose from a dragonfly, elephant, fire truck, giraffe, or tractor, and start making one-of-a-kind pieces of clothing for your kids.
