The Project:
I thought I would share how I created the customized scissors shirt that I wore to the California USF {United States of Fiskateers} Crop.
The whole project was less than $5!

Step One:
Gather your supplies.

You will need:
• Fiskars Scissors
• Fiskars Craft Knife
• T-shirt
• Fabric (orange, green, and gray)
• Iron-on Adhesive
• Iron
• Template (adjust size as desired and print)


Step Two:
Cut a piece of iron-on adhesive big enough to cover each piece of the template, and iron it to the wrong side (back side) of the fabric according to package directions.

Step Three:
Trim off excess fabric, so all that remains is fabric backed with iron-on adhesive.

Step Four:
Trace or transfer template to your fabric and cut out. (I used my Fiskars Scissors to cut out the outer edge of the template and then used my Fiskars Craft Knife to cut out the holes for the scissor handles.)

Step Five:
Remove paper backing and iron it to the t-shirt according to package directions.

Step Six:
{I didn't do this yet...but I'd recommend it.}
Stitch around the ironed on pieces to add some detail and extra durability.

Step Seven:
Wear with FiskaSPIRIT!
