Happy April Fool’s Day!
If you recall, last April 1 I participated in “TrendFest 2014” with some bloggy friends, where we each tried to create a legit project out of as many craft trends as we possibly could. Surprisingly, the result of that just-for-fun project – my mason jar pallet vase – is one of the most popular posts on my blog!
This year, a few of those same friends and I decided to do a “Pun Fest,” so I set to work searching for a great pun to turn into a crafty project. And it just so happens that one of my good friends (who is a dentist) turned 30 last week, and I wanted to make him a birthday gift. Kill two birds with one stone? Why not! Side note: a Google search for “dentist puns” will keep you entertained for quite a while!
I decided on the hilarious pun and image of the “molar bear: fighting enamel cruelty” and I knew my friend would get a kick out of it. So it was just a matter of creating the image and text in Silhouette Studio, cutting it out of heat transfer vinyl, and ironing it onto a pre-washed shirt.
Presto, dentist pun t-shirt! This would be a great gift for a dental hygienist, too.
Hehe. Enamel cruelty. I love a good pun, don’t you? (Thanks for instilling that all-important virtue in me from a young age, Dad.)
My friends Kristy from Please Excuse My Craftermath and Deanna of From Wine to Whine are also sharing some clever pun projects today – hop on over for some more chuckles and groans! (Click on the photo to go to their posts)

Yay for Dads and their punny impact! This is such a fun shirt and I know your dentist friend will feel so loved by the fact it was created just for them. Way to go to you and gals on this awesome collab!
Haha love the pun!

My daughter is obsessed with puns lately. She’s going to adore this.
That is awesome! My husband’s a dental student and he’ll get a good laugh out of it:)
This is hilarious! My Mom is a dental assistant…I might make one for her as a joke. :)

[…] Hehe, so clever!! And I’m sure it will make you smile every time you look at it. These would make great grandparent gifts, too! Meredith @ unOriginalMom recently posted…Molar Bear Dentist Pun Shirt […]
Hi! You believe this is from the Oregon Dental Association’s Dental Foundation. It’s part of a scarf campaign to fundraise money towards the Tooth Taxi. Did you get the idea from our campaign?
Hi Olesya, no actually I haven’t seen those scarves before. I saw it in an unsourced image on Pinterest a few years ago (this project is 2.5 years old) and couldn’t find where it originated from. Sounds like the perfect pun for a dental foundation fundraiser, though!
Oh my goodness. I just found your post and absolutely love this!
My friends and a are in school for dental hygiene and would LOVE these!
Where did you get the stencil to make this shirt?
I must have one!
I made the design from an image I found online and cut it out of heat transfer vinyl using my Silhouette…but if you’re looking for a ready-made shirt, I think there are some sellers on Etsy that make them!
Can I request the SVG file from you?
