Do It Yourself Cheer T-shirts
You can transform a plain, form-fitting T-shirt into a cheer shirt full of team spirit with a team emblem on the front and the team’s name spelled across the back. Use iron-on appliqués to transfer the emblem image to the shirt for an exact replica and then spell out the team’s name with glittery letters or letters in the team’s colors. Use iron-on letters for an easy project or show off your crafty side and embroider the letters across the back of the shirt.
