t-shirt design and badge making

If you have a future in fashion design then starting by creating your own t-shirt to wear is perfect! Our tried and tested technique uses a negative stencil which we iron-on to the front of the t-shirt. And because this party has been on our menu for yonks we have absolutely loads of templates to choose from - from rockets to sausage dogs – there really are fabulous choices.

We design with sharpies as they are so bright and bold and easy to work with until, ta-da, you have a t-shirt that is all yours and ready to wear home.

We buy good quality white t-shirts (usually from Next or H&M) and have a range of sizes in stock so you don’t need to provide your own t-shirts. We also will send washing instructions home so all parents will have care advice.

When the main activity is done we usually spend the last 20 minutes making badges. Our badge-maker is one of the favourite pieces of equipment in the studio. It’s an industrial one and the badges are metal pin badges which last. Pin your badge to your t-shirt and you can skip home!
