Copycat t-shirt

A couple of months ago, my boyfriend and I went to the Flyers arena (Philadelphia hockey team, for those who do not know), and I saw this t-shirt that I LOVED.  After seeing the price and experiencing dizziness for a few seconds (it was $60), I promptly said to him, "I could MAKE that."  So that's what I just did!  I got the heat transfer vinyl from HH Sign Supply, the rhinestones from Michaels - they are the Jolee's Swarovski elements in 3 different sizes - and I used the iRock tool and MTC's rhinestone feature. 


I am pretty happy with the way this one turned out, so I hope you like it too!  I traced an image of the logo that I found on Google, made it into a cutting file, then cut out the different pieces in the appropriate color vinyl, ironing each on in layers.  I then used the iRock to put each rhinestone on using the template I got by employing Make the Cut's rhinestone feature.  The embellished piece is 5.5" x 4.5", and it took about 20 minutes from start to finish - and it all started out as a plain black, $5 tee from Wal Mart!!  I love how the flash caught the shine in the stones in this picture!  What does everyone think?
