DIY Love T-shirt Embroidery

Embroidering t-shirts takes a lot of time and patience to do. But you will be amazed each time you hand embroider something onto a t-shirt. Therefore, you might like embroidering this love t-shirt for Valentine's Day or any other occasion. Embroidering letters onto a basic t-shirt turns it into a cute t-shirt to wear. Here are the instructions for embroidering text onto a t-shirt. 

Materials:

Embroidery floss/thread 

Embroidery needle 

Scissors 

T-shirt 

Ballpoint pen

Love stencil (Sun Catcher Studio) 

Instructions:

Wash and dry one t-shirt. Type a word and print it out. You can use Sun Catcher Studio's stencils or type the word on a typing program on the computer. Cut the printed-out letters and trace them onto the shirt with a ballpoint pen. Insert one embroidery thread onto an embroidery needle to begin embroidering each letter. 

In this example, black embroidery thread was used to outline the letters. You might need two or three embroidery threads of the same color for the letters. Follow the lines of the ballpoint pen to embroider each letter. Continue embroidering each letter until you no longer see the lines of the ballpoint pen. Then, trim the leftover thread. 

After that embroider the letters using another color of thread. In this example, white thread was used to embroider the letters. This project requires at least two or three days to complete. However, you will like wearing your hand-embroidered T-shirt. Have fun embroidering your t-shirts.
