One mum has developed a savvy money -making scheme by printing Nike logos on Primark T-shirts for her son.
Kat Burman doesn't see the sense in splashing out the cash on her son’s sports gear just for him to scruff it up when he only cares about “playing football and running around with his friends”.
The 37-year-old beautician from Northampton instead developed a thrifty way her son could still look like he had the latest gear without breaking the bank.
She spent £300 on a Cricut machine, which creates iron-on designs, and decided to use these to make Nike ticks and logos to iron them onto her son’s T-shirts and clothing.
Instead of splashing out, she took £2.50 Primark T-shirts and ironed on Nike logos, as well as his PE bag.
Kat also used the hack to alter a genuine Nike coat, covering over a pink logo - the only one in stock - with a white motif.
She got the idea after using the kit to decorate facemasks, so started doing it on clothing this summer holiday.
Kat said: "There is no point splashing out on expensive branded goods when all my son cares about is playing football and running around his friends - his clothes don't last long.
"Honestly, nobody can tell the difference and he loves them.
"The coat is actually Nike but they only had one with a pink tick left in stock, so I printed over the pink with white."
Her teenage son also has ADHD, making him more particular when it comes to fabrics and 'tags' on clothes, she said.
She taught herself to use the gear using YouTube.
