I came across this adorable “Be a Police Officer” T-shirt appliqué pattern, and I just had to share it with you all. I spent some time reviewing the tutorial and really loved how it turned out — it’s fun, creative, and honestly such a sweet way to celebrate our everyday heroes.
The police force has always had a special place in my life. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the work they do, especially those on the frontlines who show up every day for our communities. Whether it’s someone I know personally or just seeing the work they do in my neighborhood, it’s something I don’t take for granted.
That’s probably why this project stood out to me. It’s more than just a cute craft — it’s a little way to show some love and recognition. If you’ve got kids who look up to police officers or you’re just looking for a unique way to talk about community helpers through crafting, this is such a great idea.
The tutorial uses Thermoweb’s Sparkle Paste and stencils, which give it this really cool, glittery finish that kids will love. And don’t worry — it’s beginner-friendly and walks you through all the steps. You could totally whip one of these up for dress-up, school events, or just a thoughtful handmade gift.

I’m having trouble printing the back part of the pattern. When I click “print”, it goes to a full page where the front pattern had come up to scale, but there is nothing there for the back side. Thoughts?
Arwen, It looks like the front and the back sides are in different files. You probably just opened the PDF for the front side. There’s another link to download the pattern for the back side. Hope that helps! –Anne
