1. T-Shirt Creation (choose one)
Transfer (do all)

Supplies Needed:

  • blank T-shirt
  • computer
  • T-shirt maker software (optional)
  • scanner or digital camera or computer graphics program
  • printer
  • heat-transfer paper
  • iron
  • ironing board

    Create your graphics.
    Check your T-shirt to see the size and shape you can make your graphics. Is there a pocket? Will some of the bottom be tucked into pants?

    Decide what you want the T-shirt to look like. You could include a Bible verse, for example, or create a design for your Challenger Club and use the T-shirts as your club outfit.

    Use one of the following ways to create the graphics for your T-shirt:
  • scan a photo
  • scan a piece of artwork you create
  • take a digital photo, and download it to your computer
  • create artwork in a computer graphics program
  • use T-shirt maker software

    Print your graphics.
    Load your printer with transfer paper, following the instructions on the paper package carefully.

    Flip your graphic horizontally to create a reverse image. Then print the image from your computer onto transfer paper.

    Create your T-shirt.
    Follow the directions on the transfer paper to transfer your image to your T-shirt.



    Fabric Paint
    Use fabric paint to design your shirt. Follow the directions on the package for how to make the paint permanent.

    Tie Dye

    Your Choice:_____________________________
    Use another method to decorate your T-shirt.

    2. Praise Phrase
    Read Genesis 1:27, 31; 2:1. With your club, family, or other friends, discuss God’s creativity. What do you like best about God’s creations? What did you enjoy most about creating a T-shirt? Where does your ability to create come from?

    Using these verses as an example, make up your own “praise phrase” to thank God for his creativity and yours.

    Service Opportunity (choose one)

    Get donations of blank T-shirts. Decorate them for kids in a hospital or at a homeless shelter.
    Make and sell T-shirts as a fundraiser for a missions project or for Pioneer Clubs Around the World. (Check your church’s fundraising policy first.)
