Let's Feel the Heat and Print T-shirts, Aprons and Projects!

Help me give my students a Cricut Maker heat press, and vinyl to add t-shirt making and more to our physical education class!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brinken's classroom raised $331

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students would love to be able to create their own t-shirts, aprons and projects for different events. They could create shirts for Field Day, aprons for cooking club or when they meet certain goals or even sayings to promote kindness to others. They love creating and creating something that they could wear would be wonderful!

Having a Cricut heat press, and vinyl will allow us to use technology to take our creations to the next level.

They can create so many different types of projects using the Cricut heat press and vinyl. My hope is to have them create a variety of different projects that will benefit them and our school. They will love to use the design process and their knowledge to help them design and create different their projects.
