Create Your Own Special T-Shirt

I have created some of my own T-shirts using designs made on word or publisher. It is really easy! Follow the steps here:

1) Create your own design or find a picture in the free domain or purchase one on Pinterest. There is probably a lot of free clip art right on your computer!

2) Use a lot of bright color and make it big. Kids like bright colors and big designs, plus they will stand out better on a t-shirt.

3) Purchase a t-shirt at the fabric store. I have found yellow t-shirts at bargain prices during Christmas time when everyone wants green, red, and white. In fact, I was able to purchase 8 yellow t-shirts for 25 cents each in adult sizes. Many times new t-shirts can be found at 3 or 4 for a $1.00. Be sure to wash your shirt before you apply your design.

4) Purchase Fabric Transfers. I use Avery 8.5" x 11" Light Fabric Transfers. You get six sheets in a package.

5) After you have created or downloaded your design, print it out on regular paper in color to see if it is the correct size and color(s) you want.

6) If all is OK, print your design on the fabric transfer sheet. Follow the directions - it's easy. Instead of paper, simply print on the fabric sheet which you load right into your own printer!

7) Follow the instructions on the fabric sheet package. Get your iron hot and ready and GO!

8) You have now created a great t-shirt. Wear it with a smile!
