Make This DIY Police Officer Shirt in Under an Hour – Perfect for Dress-Up or Gifting
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.

Can you make a quilt with faux fur???
I am not an expert quilter by any means, but I’d think that you might be able to make a quilt with faux fur so long as you were not piecing together tiny pieces. I’d stick to large, simple shapes like squares. You’d also need to experiment to see if the seam allowances would be too thick for it to lay flat.
