Welcome to T-Shirts to Color

Here you'll find pre-printed designs on tee shirts that can be colored or painted in. All the how to's are here too, just scroll on down to the bottom of the page for the instructions.

Hi, my name is Cheryl Paton, and I'm an artist that likes to encourage kids to create art. With a simple design, kids easily add to the design with their own creativity. The world needs artists too. What a fun way to encourage kids to create art, to have them wear designs that they helped create!

There are simple designs to choose from for the beginner, to ones with more flare for the more advanced.

See them all at www.zazzle.com/cherylsart*/ or browse the Color-in designs below. Design requests are also welcome.



There are links below for having a Color In Party and also for How To color in.

Variety of Sizes and Styles

Color in shirts can be ordered in children sizes through adult sizes. You can also choose from a variety of shirt styles and colors. Just click on the color in design of your choice to begin.

Each Design is Original and Hand Drawn by Cheryl Paton

Cheryl Paton is the artist that designs the color in designs. A wonderful company, Zazzle, places the designs on the the shirts and ships them to the customer when an order is placed.

Color in Shirts - Peace Signs 

Many designs can be customized:

Once you've selected an art design and clicked on it, it will take you to an ordering page. If it says customize in the lower right hand corner, you can add or change words, the font, font color, and more.

Color in tip #1

Wash and dry the shirts first without the use of fabric softener, for best paint adherence.

Color in Shirts - Space Shuttle 

Color in tip #2

Place a sheet of cardboard between the two layers of fabric of the shirt(s)s to keep the back of the shirt and your working surface clean of paint.

Color in shirts - Sports - Basketball and Football 

There is also a version of this design that is already colored in. Click on Cherylsart below, then Sports under Product Line.

Different ways for the artist(s) to color in

The artist gets to decide if they want to stay inside the lines or color outside the lines.

The artist can fill in the space with dots, called pointillism, or with other shapes.

The artist can add their own details to the design, i.e. a ball for the cat, grass for the lizard, etc.

Great for a family or birthday party activity!

Color in shirts can be a family activity and/or a birthday party activity.

What do you think of Outline Art? 

I think Outline Art

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

is a great idea for a painting activity.

KarateKatGraphics says:

Terrific idea!

Laniann says:

Yes, Great! I loved to color pictures in my coloring book.
5*'s for you and I Favorited It.

Renee Fukumoto says:

This is a great idea! I would have loved this as a kid - great for birthday parties and activity times (mom speaking!). Encourages young artists for sure.

RinchenChodron says:

I'd have loved this idea as a kid - I could never draw but I could color - and it gives a kid a sense of accomplishment even if someone else did the actual design.

designs look great just as they are.

Great t-Shirts! I love to outline in puffy paint and fill in with the t-shirt paints. I usually use iron-ons, this is even better. Thanks for sharing all these fabulous resources. **5**
