1. Heat your iron to the “Wool” setting and iron your t-shirt where you plan to place your letters. You don’t want wrinkles to get trapped under your letters!

2. Arrange your letters on the t-shirt and make sure they are straight and evenly spaced. You can even use a level/ruler if you don’t trust your eyes 😜

3. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper over the letters and iron according to the instructions on the lettering package. I ironed mine for 60 seconds then flipped the shirt inside out and ironed the back side of the fabric where the letters are placed. Make sure each letter gets ironed for the same amount to time.

4. Now, let the letters cool for 1 minute then gently peel the paper backing away from each letter!

Helpful Tips

Eye Survived 100 Days of School Shirt

1.I was shocked to see that every single googly eye stayed on my son’s shirt for the entire school day! I expected him to come home with 10 googly eyes instead of 100 😅. The white googly eyes were self adhesive but the colored eyes were not. I used hot glue to attach these eyes and they stayed put all day.

2.You can use any color shirt and any size googly eyes you like! Make this cute DIY shirt uniquely special for your child!

3.I would NOT recommend washing this shirt. The googly eyes will most likely fall off in the washing machine.

4.Make sure to iron both sides of your shirt when applying iron on letters. This will guarantee that your letters stick to your shirt completely! Below are additional instructions for perfecting iron on lettering!

Googly eyeballs: These are the main feature of the shirt and will give it a fun and playful look. You can use ones with adhesive or use fabric glue or a hot glue gun to attach them.
Sharpie markers (red and black): These will be used to draw a monster outline and add details like the mouth and tongue.
Iron: Set it to the "wool" setting to ensure proper adhesion of the letters.

Now, let's go through the step-by-step process of making the cutest 100 days of school shirt with googly eyes:

Heat your iron to the "Wool" setting and iron the area of the t-shirt where you plan to place your letters. This will ensure a smooth surface for the letters and prevent wrinkles from getting trapped underneath.
Arrange your iron-on letters on the t-shirt, ensuring they are straight and evenly spaced. You can use a level or ruler to assist you in this step.
Place a piece of parchment or wax paper over the letters and follow the instructions on the lettering package to iron them onto the fabric. Make sure to iron the front and back sides of the fabric to ensure proper adhesion.
Allow the letters to cool for a minute, then gently peel off the paper backing from each letter.
Using a black Sharpie marker, freehand a monster shape on the front of the t-shirt. You can also use a red Sharpie marker to add a tongue and other details. Feel free to get creative with your monster design.
This is where the fun begins! Let your child go wild with the googly eyes. Count out 100 eyes and have them stick them onto the shirt. If you're using self-adhesive eyes, help your child peel off the backing as needed. If you're using glue, use fabric glue or a hot glue gun to ensure the eyes stay in place.

And there you have it! A cute and personalized 100 days of school shirt with monster eyes that your kids will love wearing. The article also provides several options for phrases to add to the shirt, such as "Eye Survived 100 Days of School" or "100 Days Smarter."

It's important to note that the colored googly eyes may require additional adhesive, such as hot glue, to stay in place throughout the day. Additionally, it is not recommended to wash the shirt, as the googly eyes may fall off in the washing machine.
