Here are the directions:

http://members.tripod.com/cecilia_liu/shirt.htm

I had a little trouble initially with the directions, so I’m going to add some measurements for you. The steps are the same as the link.
PLEASE PRACTICE FIRST WITH PLAIN COPY PAPER!!!! And I'm not sure that you can do this with cardstock...you might need to use thin designer paper, or stamp on the copy paper.

Using a full sheet of paper:
Step 1 and 2: fold as directed.
Step 3: Fold back the top edge by 3/4”.
Step 4: Fold the corners in so that the corners meet at the center fold 3/4” down from the top folded edge.
Step 5: These folds will make the sleeves. Measure up 3 �” from the bottom of the paper in the center (where the edges of the paper meet). From that point, make the triangles folding outward as shown.
Step 6: Fold the bottom edge up and wedge it under the collar flaps before creasing it. The front of the shirt from the top of the shoulders to the bottom is approximately 4 �”



If you want to make a smaller shirt that would fit on a normal sized card, use a piece of designer paper measuring 4�” x 5 �”.
Step 1 and 2: fold as directed.
Step 3: Fold back the top edge by �”.
Step 4: Fold the corners in so that the corners meet at the center fold �” down from the top folded edge.
Step 5: These folds will make the sleeves. Measure up 1 �” from the bottom of the paper in the center (where the edges of the paper meet). From that point, make the triangles folding outward as shown.
Step 6: Fold the bottom edge up and wedge it under the collar flaps before creasing it. The front of the shirt from the top of the shoulders to the bottom is approximately 2 �”.

Please use the keyword TLC119 when you upload.

Have fun!

wow, just happened to look to see if there were any old challenges I wanted to try. Was excited to find the new one. Going to try this right now.

[artystamper]

I've made one of these shirts before but it was bigger - thanks for the instructions - will work on this tomorrow!

Boy this was fun - I love these little shirts!!! Thanks for the challenge Beth!

Something new and fun! Thanks, Beth! Should be great to see what everyone comes up with!

[Stamps'nCoffee]

I was just thinking about what I could use to make my Dad's Fathers Day card as I have very few masculine stamps!! This is way cool!! I can't wait to try it!!!! Awesome challenge Beth!!

[derck]

I was just thinking about making some FAther's Day cards. This is just the inspiration I needed!! I love the Girl Scout variations too! Can't wait to find time to try this one!

[laurakj]

I did one of these with a $1 bill! Here's the card (the card stinks btw ;) it was for VSN and it took too much time to make the shirt) LOL

[dancerriley]

if i can get this to work, it will be great for father's day!

[lacyquilter]

Cool. Never done one of these. Thanks for the early post, Beth.

[crooked river]

I made over 100 of these as invitations for a party my SIL had last summer. Then I punched 2 gazillion flowers so each shirt would have a lei. Everyone loved them. I swore at the time if I never made another origami shirt, it would be too soon. For the challenge, I might have to give it another shot

[SeattleStamper]

Woo Who! I'm off to play...

[Jeanne S]

I did this one a couple VSN's ago:

Well, that was easier than I thought! I used a half sheet of SU pattern paper so I had to make my card larger than usual. The card ended up being 5 1/2 inches by 7 inches.

[diane617]

I think I can do this- thanks for using my Girl Scout ones as an example- we made a bunch of them for a 95th celebration.

[beadn&stampn]

Sounds fun! Thanks Beth...Hope to play in the AM!

[2katjes]

Well, I made a shirt out of scrap paper, and Beth, your extra measurements made it easy! I am leaving town in the morning, so I don't think I will get a chance to make a challenge card tomorrow. But it might be fun to make one for my brother-n-law, except he is more of a t-shirt kind of guy! I made a differnet kind of shirt card for my dad a few years ago, so I still need to come up with a fun idea for Father's Day.

[StephStamps1982]

Thanks for the early post. I'm printing directions now. Can't wait to try this tomorrow. Should be a fun project to do! Thanks again.

[Stamps'nCoffee]

Here is my first one!! These are really quite fun to make and I'm working on another one already!!

I just finished mine...10:30 p.m. I made mine a Father's Day card for my hubby...he loves green! Here's mine Linen Shirt

[myboys]

Great instructions Beth. I practiced and it worked!! We will see what happens!

[tackertwosome]

Oh this is going to be fun. I made one once and used a five dollar bill on a BD card for my grandson.

[lacyquilter]

Here's my non-stamped card.

[bensarmom]

Can't wait to try this. Thanks Beth!

Cool idea! I may use it for a graduation card, putting the cap on top!

[DawnL]

oh fun Beth! I've never done one of these before

[markie's mom]

Hi! Wow! I don't usually attempt origami... (RA, ya' know...) However, it's early in my day, so I'm feeling pretty limber! LOL!

Here's today's submission:

I will have to try this later. It will be a HUGE challenge for me since I stink at origami. This looks really fun though

[Toy]

This was alot of fun to do! I made 6 different shirts, so now I'll have to make more cards

Here's mine:

Oh, Beth -- you're so bad! I was going to skip today's challenge because I have too many other things to do, but looks like I'll have to squeeze it in somehow because these shirts are too darn cute!
