If you don't have time to eat the creamy stuff, you can at least wear it. Color copy the front of your favorite icy sweet treat (Italian ice, Mexican paletas, Orange Dreamsicle) onto fabric paper, affix it to a tank and you are good to go.

Supplies:

1 box of ice cream treats
1 sheet of fabric paper
1 sheet of HeatnBond fabric transfer
1 bottle of fabric squeeze paint
Iron

Directions: Using the high-resolution setting, color copy the front of the box onto a sheet of fabric paper, either at your local copy center or using your inkjet printer. Cut out the shape of the image, as well as a piece of HeatnBond to match. Iron the two pieces together, remove the protective backing, set in place on the tank and iron in place. Refer to HeatnBond package directions for specifics. Let cool. Use fabric squeeze paint to add small dots to outline the image on the shirt for durability.
