Here are several shirt designs you can print using heat transfer vinyl.
1.Matching Personalized Shirts
Do you love twinning? Design matching shirts for yourself and your mom. Better yet, create a set for the whole family for a memorable photo op! Just like the photo above, you can put the words ‘Mommy’ and ‘Daughter’ cut in vinyl at the back. You can use the simple PU Heat Transfer Vinyl for this design. You can even put the words ‘Queen’ and ‘Princess’ or ‘World’s Best Mom’ and ‘World’s Best Daughter/Son’ on the shirts.
2.I Just Called To Say Thank You, Mom!
Another Mother’s Day shirt idea is to have a quote like this with a heart in the center. It’s a simple design but it will make your mom smile. For this project, you’ll need three colors of PU Heat Transfer Vinyl–red, black, and white. This design would look perfect on a dark-colored shirt like green or black.
3.Got It From My Mom
It is said that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Your appearance, your charm, and everything you have come from your momma!

5.I Love You, Mom
Sometimes, a simple ‘I Love You’ is what your mom wants to hear. This shirt design speaks volumes about your affection for her. The heart pattern may be challenging to weed, but a high-quality weeding tool will do the trick.
