Hello,

I've had this (good?) idea to stick something to my t-shirts to make them 3d (without giving long & tedious explanations), I was wondering if there is a way to make an object, like a button, string, etc..."stick" to a t-shirt? Is there a glue that does that and resists to washing too?

Thanks,

P!erre!

You have to be more specific.
You can definitely glue things on fabric, but not everything is done the same way. Here is one example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W24WIHjsE00

Ok... For example. I would create a tshirt that has an image of a grenade but, the ring to pull it, would be a metallic ring. Could I glue a metallic ring on a tshirt and would it stay on it wash after wash?

Grenades have a pin (don't ask how I know), so you don't have to glue it...just use a safety pin

some have interesting shapes.

On second thought.... you can simply hand stitch a real grenade pin on the shirt https://homesmart.org.uk/products/split-cotter-pins-for-securing-clevis-pins OR the even the ring itself.

The idea is a few notches better than a grenade but, at least until I start doing it, I don't want to share the idea (but I will...). It would prove to be easier to glue than to stitch... Can it be glued?

Is fish edible? Obviously it depends on which fish. The same with this. It is possible to glue things on fabric, but different things require different method.

No. I don't need to glue a fish on a t-shirt.
A small piece of metal on a t-shirt. Only.
