you can put it in the dryer and it should shrink.
it might even be best if you put it in by itself and put it on the highes power.

It depends on the material of the tshirt. If it's cotton, it will be easy. Synthetics tend not to shrink.
Basically wash it in hot water, then put it in a dryer (hottest setting).
The hotter, the better, because high temperatures cause the fibres in the material to shrink.

Warm water shouldn't be used. Hot water is what you need.

1. Wash the T-shirt in very hot water.
2. Optional: Add baking soda to the water to preserve any writing or illustrations.
3. Dry in a hot clothes dryer (this is when the majority of the shrinking will take place).
4. Leave the shirt in the dryer for a few minutes after cycle.

Instructions to shrink a cotton shirt, most likely, your tshirt is made of cotton.
