Design It, Press It, Own It!

Help me give my students a tumbler heat press and the supplies they need to create personalized mugs, tumblers, coasters, shirts, and more—projects that build creativity, confidence, and career-ready skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Holmes's classroom raised $751

My Project

I love that my students are imaginative, determined, and eager to learn new things—especially when they can use their creativity. Many of them are English learners and hands-on learners, so projects that involve designing, creating, and making something tangible help them shine in ways traditional lessons can't always capture.

The tumbler heat press will allow students to transfer their artwork and designs onto real products like mugs, tumblers, and more.

This gives them a sense of ownership and pride in their work, while also introducing them to real-world tools used in design and small business.

The blank tumblers, mugs, shirts, and coasters will give them a blank canvas to explore their creativity and personalize items that reflect their identity, culture, and interests.

The vinyl and heat transfer materials will support students in learning the technical side of crafting and production, helping them develop problem-solving, fine motor skills, and an eye for detail.

Through these resources, students will not only express themselves artistically but also build practical skills in technology, design, and entrepreneurship. Most importantly, they will experience the joy of turning their ideas into something they can hold, use, or share—boosting their confidence and reminding them of the value they bring to the classroom and beyond.
