What You’ll Need:

  1. Plain White T-Shirt (style is up to you)
  2. Transferable Paper
  3. A printer with color ink
  4. Iron
  5. Spider-Man Heart Design (free printable version below)

The reason so many girls utilize this version of MJ is because it is without a doubt one of the easiest and most popular female cosplays you can conjure up. This cute Mary Jane Spider-Man shirt just needs to be paired with some jean shorts, knee-high socks, and a red or auburn wig to complete the look.

How To Make the Mary Jane Spider-Man Shirt

Step 1. Download Spider-Man heart shape design.

Step 2. Print it out.

Use regular computer paper first to determine if your design needs to be bigger or smaller. Then, use white fabric transferable paper. I usually use the brand Avery, which you can get at Walmart or on Amazon. Print on the blank side of the paper. Normally, you would have to do a mirrored image before you transfer it, but since this is an asymmetrical design, it works without needing to reverse it. However, I did (just to be safe) use this method for the downloadable version.

Step 3. Trim around the design.

Make sure there are absolutely no white edges or else it will transfer onto your shirt. https://cosplayandcoffee.com/product/mary-jane-watson-spider-man-heart-shirt-unisex/

Step 4. Iron it on.

Make sure you place it exactly where you want it to go before you iron on your Spider-Man design. I also recommend using a cutting board or something to stretch out your shirt while you iron it on.   Place it face down and use firm pressure to iron on the design. Use your body weight to press the iron down onto the design for one to two minutes. Move the iron left to right, then up and down to ensure the entire design is being transferred onto your shirt.

Step 5. Let it cool.

It’s recommended that you wait at least 24 hours to wear and wash your MJ Spider-Man heart shirt.

Step 6. Become Mary Jane Watson


 

And that’s it! You now officially have your own casual MJ cosplay. Or just a cute Spider-Man T-shirt. The instructions suggest washing your shirt inside out in cold water, and using tumble dry low to ensure your design stays on forever!
