Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You’ll Need:

* Iron on transfer paper
* computer
* iron
* 1 T-shirt for each person fit to size
* color printer

Step1
First you need a picture of Presidential Elect Barack Obama. I definitely suggest online where you will see plenty of free images just for the asking. Surf over to google and type in: Obama+Images to make a selection from there.
Step2
Once you have your image, put it in a word document and size to fit as big or as little as you like. This should be the size of an entire sheet of transfer paper (8.5 x 11). Print out on your paper through the color printer
Step3
Now you need your wording. On another document, you need to have some words to fit your shirt appropriately. Most of the basics include "44th President", "Yes, we can!" and other fun phrases. Be creative and make these words bold and large.
Step4
Take the T-shirt out and place on the ironing board. Cut out the pieces of the wording and photos and place around the shirt until it looks perfect!
Step5
Following the transfer paper directions to iron on the transfers to the shirt. This is very important as each paper is slightly different.
Step6
Once the paper is ironed, wait the allotted time and rip off the back paper to see your shirt. This is a great project for the kids and you have just saved yourself $25 dollars instead of buying this souvenir at the store!
