The Heat is On! Designing and Printing T-Shirts with Cricut

Help me give my students the materials they need to create beautiful t-shirt designs using a Cricut machine.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melgarejo's classroom raised $174

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Thanks to contributors just like you, a couple of months ago we got our Cricut machine project funded. The students were super excited when they heard the news and that we would be designing t-shirts in the near future. We have since fundraised money for materials but we still need your help. We are in need of a heat press and vinyl!

Your kind contribution will help us get just a little bit closer to our project goal, designing and printing t-shirts.

With the machine in place, we need vinyl in different colors and a heat press to adhere the design. Sure we can create and print other things, but nothing will make the kids more engaged or proud than being able to wear their designs. With your support, we can send engagement through the roof and make the classroom our own fashion show!
