Has anyone tried shirt folding?

I've had some fun this afternoon trying this out!

I bought a football shirt block and have made football shirts following this design.

You can make shirts with this instructions using any patterned papers you might have. You need to trim the paper to 7.5cm x 15cm!

Just tried this and these are sooo cute They look good made out of the stripey paper I was trying to get shot of although you need to ensure you get the stripes symetrical when you cut out the blank for folding. The orange-with-glittery-swirls paper made a rather funky shirt too.

They are fab aren't they. At last the difficulties of not knowing what to put on men's cards are solved for a while (until I get bored of them)

I got a bit stuck for buttons last time though - ended up using sequins which were a bit too big for the shirt

Will have to think of something else next time!

Alright soapbox, I blame you... I've just spent half an hour trying to fold little tiny shirts. (I know, slow learner!) Oh, and wondering why that demonstator lady has a 'v' shaped french manicure.

Buttons for your shirts
Have you got any peel offs, if so sometimes in between the peel off there are little bits left like little circles you don't usally notice them I've used them bits for button on loads of things and if you have any permanent marker pens you can colour the bits, silver peel offs colour the best

Carolinett - great tip - perfect solution!!!

you can get tiny buttons that will fit the shirts. the papermania button box has lots in there

I sometimes cut a tie shape out of contrasting card and use that instead of buttons - looks fab!
