100 Days Flew By – Butterflies on a Shirt: I love this idea! Foam butterflies, one hundred of them, are stuck on this shirt. The owner was able to reuse the shirt for regular use because the butterflies did not need to be hot glued on. They were self-adhesive with enough stick to hold on to cloth. I would however use a white T-shirt, instead of this dark color, so that the colors of the words ‘100 Days Flew By’ can be clearly seen. The dress has iron on butterflies.

100th Day of School t-Shirt Craft Tip

I’ll leave you with a tip for buying 100 items for the T-Shirts. Whether you are getting adhesive gemstones, stickers, iron on patches, or mini pompom balls, always buy a pack that has more than 100 in them. Many times, a retailer would claim that a pack has 100 hundred items when it is actually less than that. So to be safe, buy two packs instead or a bigger sized pack.

I love these tiny iron on hearts, but the pack comes with 62 pieces, so I’d recommend getting two packs for one T shirt. Each heart is about the size of a thumbprint.
