DIY T-Shirt Designs and Ideas for Friends and Siblings

Many people don’t do that (gifting DIY T-shirts to their friends and sibling), but you are someone different. You choose to be creative. Well, gifting a t-shirt to someone dear is really a great thing but gifting a t-shirt furnished with your own DIY T-shirt designs is the next-level way of showing love.

DIY means do-it-yourself and gestures of showing love, gifts convey the true feelings of the giver when they have an element of personal touch. And DIY T-shirts ideas let you add that personal touch.

Personalizing With Letters

If you want to gift a personalized t-shirt to your friends and siblings, then adding letters of the receiver’s name is one of the most-adorable DIY T-shirts ideas. We advise positioning the letters with double-sided tape to plan the perfect placement! Always remove the tape before ironing or sewing anything on your shirt.


The Random Print

Want to create an abstract design on the t-shirt that you are planning to gift? No worries! It's a lot easier than you think. You don’t require any particular skill and toolsets, but all you need is five to six different fabric colours and paintbrush. To create an abstract DIY T-shirt design, dip your paintbrush in fabric colours and move your hands on the t-shirt in random directions.

By Using Tape

You can create a whole lot of defined designs that the receiver will add in his/her wardrobe. Start by selecting a plain t-shirt of your choice (black and white colours render better results), now paste the tape on the t-shirt in the shape you want to print (like if you want to have triangles then create one with tapes), fill the shape with your preferred colour, and remove the tapes.

Use of Markers

This is somewhat similar to the handmade artwork defined above. But using fabric markers lets you create a design full of details. You can add a lot of things and make the t-shirt look really cool. With markers, you can draw a favourite superhero of the receivers of his/her favourite cartoon. This DIY t-shirt idea will consume a lot of your time, but the results will be all worth.

The Cutting Technique

Don’t judge us on this, but females mostly use the cutting technique as they don’t love wearing ordinary t-shirts. They love to play with the craft and feel like a fashion-designer having scissors in hand and a t-shirt on the table. But, by cutting t-shirts, you can create designs that no one is wearing in this world. There are a lot of DIY cutting t-shirt ideas available on the internet.

The Toothbrush Technique

Yup, as the name suggests, you will be using your toothbrush for this one because that’s what DIY means - using unexpected things to create extraordinary designs. Take some cutouts like those of the Batman logo shown in the picture, place them on the t-shirt, dip the toothbrush in fabric paint and sprinkle on the t-shirt around the cutouts using your thumb.
