DIY Flower Girl and Ring Bearer T-Shirts

Last weekend my brother got married!  It was a totally gorgeous wedding out in Laramie, Wyoming, and we had the best time celebrating with family and friends.  The best part of it all is that I now have another sister, whom I adore.  I was a bridesmaid, and my kids were the flower girl and ring bearer.

And because I like to make a lot of extra work for myself and create unnecessary stress, the day before we left town, I decided to make my kids some totally cute t-shirts to help notify everyone they were part of the wedding party.  SO adorable!  Learn how to make these DIY flower girl and ring bearer t-shirts for the littlest ones in the wedding party.  They're easy and so cute!

SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR DIY FLOWER GIRL AND RING BEARER T-SHIRTS

You really don’t need much to make these adorable shirts.  I used an electronic cutting machine to make mine, but that isn’t necessary to get a similar look.  Please note that some of these links are affiliate links, which means that I earn a small commission if you purchase through them.  To read my full disclosure policy, please click here.

  • Plain t-shirts
  • Silhouette Portrait (or any other electronic cutting machine)
  • Heat transfer vinyl (I used Cricut brand iron-on vinyl in black glitter)
  • Iron
  • ***If you don’t have an electronic cutting machine, simply purchase pre-cut iron-on transfer letters and embellishments.  Michaels has an amazing variety of letters and embellishments.

HOW TO MAKE DIY FLOWER GIRL AND RING BEARER T-SHIRTS

As I mentioned above, I used an electronic cutting machine to make my kids’ t-shirts.  If you don’t have one, then just purchase iron-on letters and follow the instructions on the package to make your own shirts.  If you do have a cutting machine, here’s how I made these!

First, I designed the text I wanted in my cutting machine’s software, making sure to mirror image the text.  SO adorable!  Learn how to make these DIY flower girl and ring bearer t-shirts for the littlest ones in the wedding party.  They're easy and so cute!

Next, I cut my iron-on vinyl. With a brand new blade, it cut perfectly on the settings suggested by the cutting machine software.  (Notice the My Little Pony convention happening right next to my machine?) I also downloaded a ring design and a flower design and cut those. SO adorable!  Learn how to make these DIY flower girl and ring bearer t-shirts for the littlest ones in the wedding party.  They're easy and so cute!
Then I ironed my text on to the back of my shirts, and the ring and flower designs on the fronts of their respective shirts. I followed the directions on my iron-on vinyl’s packaging, and the designs adhered perfectly! (Even after washing they’re still holding on strong!) SO adorable!

They turned out SO cute! I definitely high-fived myself on a job well done. SO adorable!  Learn how to make these DIY flower girl and ring bearer t-shirts for the littlest ones in the wedding party.  They're easy and so cute!

I let my kids wear these the day of the rehearsal dinner while we did some rock climbing in Medicine Bow National Forest. They loved them because they got so much attention from everyone they saw that day.  As if they needed any more attention.SO adorable!

And just for fun, here’s a picture of the kids and me after the wedding ceremony. It’s the only one I have so far from the day! Of course somebody had to be making a strange face. SO adorable!

Of course t-shirts like these are totally unnecessary, but they were a fun part of the celebration, and for that reason I’m glad I decided to make them at the last minute!

    I bet you got a lot of comments when people saw those cute t-shirts walking by. You look BEAUTIFUL by the way! I have neither a cutting machine nor a cute little iron like the one in your picture, but I’m sure I could do it with iron on letters. I like making special touches as well. I once stenciled a bunch of canvas bags for a family reunion. It was fun!

      I bet your family LOVED those bags!! I think those types of personal touches can turn a special event into an unforgettable event! 🙂 And so funny about that iron – it’s probably the most worthless iron on the planet because of its size. Can you tell how much ironing I do? 🙂

    These are so adorable! And I absolutely love the ring bearer being referred to as “Ring Security”.

      Hi, Marie! Thank you so much. 🙂 My son wanted his to say “Ring Bearer Lightning McQueen” but I put the kibosh on that. 🙂 Oh three-year olds. 🙂

      Hi, Stefanie! I am so flattered that you’ve asked. Unfortunately I just do not have the time to make them now. However, I am SURE you can find someone on Etsy who will make them for you! Good luck and thanks again!

      Hi, Gabby! Thanks! I bought the shirts at Target in the kids section. They were just Cat and Jack brand. 🙂

    Mid-Century Dining Chairs Makeover
