Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

How to make a animated character inspired upcycled t-shirt

by

I just need to say that if you recognize this character by name from its original cartoon then you fall into one group, if you only recognize it from the car commercial (like myself) then you fall into another. Likewise when Janet sent in her link to cute no-sew Yo Gabba  Gabba t-shirt upcycling tutorial I am thinking I am going to see something with the Ramones on it. Yup, I am on old school punk rock girl with no kids. But that doesn’t mean this isn’t a great idea to make large scale faces on t-shirts!
