Overview

This printable t-shirt template gives you a set of blank shirt outlines you can use for creative projects. The pages are simple on purpose, so there is plenty of room to draw, color, write, or plan your own designs.

You can use the larger shirt templates when you want more drawing space or want to plan a full shirt concept, and the multi-template page is useful for quick sketches or group activities.

Because the designs are black and white, they are easy to print and customize. You can keep them as plain templates, decorate them with markers, cut them out for crafts, or use them to map out a real t-shirt design before creating it digitally.

What’s Included in This T-Shirt Template Printable

This PDF includes 9 t-shirt template pages plus a personal-use disclaimer page.

The printable includes:

  • A large basic t-shirt template.
  • A rounded t-shirt outline.
  • A boxy or oversized t-shirt outline.
  • A button up t-shirt template.
  • A page with multiple small t-shirt templates.

All template pages are blank, black and white, and designed to print on standard U.S. Letter paper.

How to Use the Printable

Download the PDF and print the page that fits your project. You can print the whole set, or choose one specific page from your printer settings.

For design planning, use the blank t-shirt outline to sketch your idea before creating the final version. You can draw text, graphics, patterns, logos, icons, or placement ideas inside the shirt shape.

For kids’ activities, print the template on regular paper and let children create their own shirt designs with crayons, markers, or colored pencils. This works well for art time, fashion activities, pretend play, and “design your own shirt” projects.

For crafts, print the template on cardstock or glue the printed page onto construction paper before cutting it out. Kids can decorate the shirt with stickers, paper shapes, glitter glue, fabric scraps, or other craft supplies.

The page with multiple smaller shirts is helpful when you want to test several ideas at once. It can also work well for classroom activities where each student designs more than one shirt.

Craft Ideas

Here are a few simple craft ideas for this printable:

  • Sketch a t-shirt design before making it digitally.
  • Create a “design your own shirt” classroom activity.
  • Let kids make pretend clothing for paper dolls or craft projects.
  • Plan a full shirt concept.
  • Decorate the shirts with patterns, stripes, flowers, stars, or words.
  • Use the pocket tee page for a simple fashion design activity.
  • Print the small shirts for quick design thumbnails.
  • Trace the t-shirt shape onto colored paper.
  • Use the templates for art class or homeschool projects.
  • Make a bulletin board display with custom shirt designs.

You can keep the activity simple with coloring, or use the templates as a planning tool for a more detailed project.

Printing Tips

Regular printer paper works well for drawing, coloring, and sketching. It is the easiest option if you are using the pages for quick design ideas or classroom activities.

Cardstock is better if you plan to cut out the t-shirt templates or use them for crafts. It gives the finished shirt shapes more structure and makes them easier to decorate.

Print at actual size or 100% scale if you want the templates to print as designed. If you want smaller shirts, use the page with multiple t-shirt templates instead of shrinking the larger pages.

For reusable tracing, print your favorite shirt outline on cardstock and laminate it. Then you can trace around it again for future projects.
