Disney Frozen DIY Olaf Shirt
Since we had as many boys at our Frozen Birthday Party as we had girls, we needed to find a good complement to the Elsa capes that we made for the girls. Â We knocked around a few ideas until we finally came up with DIY Olaf shirts. Â We talked about using fabric paint and painting on his face and then we found printable iron transfers. Â Genius! It was an easy thing to do, they were super cute, and the boys loved them!
How to Make a Disney Frozen DIY Olaf Shirt
You will need:
We decided to go “quality” instead of “quantity” for the Frozen party favors this year.  And then when we found these child-sized white T-Shirts at Hobby Lobby priced between $2.00 and $3.00 each (depending on the size) we suddenly had ourselves a super affordable “quality” gift in this DIY Olaf Shirt.
I found an image of Olaf that was a 150 dpi PNG file. Â Its printable size was 9″ x 9″. Â That was going to be perfect for use on our DIY Olaf Shirts. Â I opened the file in Photoshop so I could print the file.
Following the directions on the package of our EPSON Iron-On Transfer paper that I bought at Amazon, I printed 7 copies of the Olaf image.
The Olaf image printed on the transfer paper looked great and I was ready to transfer it to our white shirts.
Per the instructions, I trimmed the Olaf image 1/4″ all the way around the image and figured out where I wanted to place it on the t-shirt.
I placed the Olaf image face down on the white t-shirt.
It was super easy to transfer the Olaf image to the t-shirt with an iron. This process only took 20-30 seconds.
The transfer paper peeled off easily leaving our Olaf image on the T-Shirt.
Our DIY Olaf Shirts were one of the easiest projects we did for our Frozen Birthday Party. Â From start to finish I made seven t-shirts in under an hour. Â And the boys loved them!
What computer application do you have in order to make your signs and other characters?
Hi Norma, I use Photoshop.
Where did you find the 150 dpi PNG file for Olaf?
Google Image search using the search tool of Size = Large. I included .PNG in the search string.
