Hey friends! I’m Jamielyn from I {heart} Nap Time and I’m so excited to share this handmade gift for all the men in your life!

I always have the hardest time figuring out what to get my husband! Men are so hard to shop for…let alone make something for! I’ve never thought to make my husband an apron, but when I saw some “male” aprons in the pampered chef catalog I knew it would be a great gift! If your husband loves to grill I think they’ll get a kick out of this!

To get started you’ll need an apron… I found these ones at Jo-Ann’s on sale for $2.99. Sa-weet!!

Then I pulled out my Silhouette and cut out “CAUTION: EXTREMELY HOT” with heat transfer. If you will be doing this with your Silhouette make sure to mirror your image horizontally before cutting.

If you don’t have a Silhouette you can easily use stencils for this as well. They sell packs of stencil letters at most craft stores. Just lay the letters down and brush over them with fabric paint.

Once I printed out my heat transfer I stuck it on the apron and ironed it on. Make sure to put a piece of fabric over the applique before ironing. With the Silhouette heat transfer, you’ll have to hold it for about 45 seconds. Just peel up a little edge to make sure it has stuck. Once the heat transfer has fully adhered you can peel away the top layer.
