I never expected to create a DIY about underwear, but day-of-the-week underwear is timelessly fun. Today we’ll make our own set — one pair for each day — and each will feature a sweet, playful graphic. This is an easy, quick project that makes a charming gift or a whimsical back-to-school treat. Let’s get started!
DIY Day of the Week Underwear
Total Time: 30 Minutes
Supplies
7 pairs of plain white underwear (clearance basics work great)
Printable day-of-the-week graphics (print on transfer paper)
Iron-on transfer paper suitable for fabric
Iron
Printer
Scissors
Directions
1. Download and print the day-of-the-week graphics onto the iron-on transfer paper following the transfer paper package instructions. The graphics are intentionally mirrored so they appear correctly when transferred.
2. Carefully cut close around each graphic to remove as much excess paper as possible.
3. Position each graphic face down on the center-back of a pair of underwear. Follow the transfer paper instructions for heat, pressure, and timing to adhere the image.
4. Allow the transfer to cool fully before peeling away the backing. Repeat these steps for the remaining pairs until you have all seven days.
