how do you make homemade t-shirt designs?

Question

i have heard about the iron transfer, but does it last forever? (how)

is there any pen/paints or other methods that i can use to decorate t-shirts or other clothings?

Answer 1

well a friend of mine designs them on the computer and prints them out on the t-shirt. Im sure if you go to a craft store you can get find a paper to print on and probably iron on to the fabric...in addition any fabric store would have numerous amounts of paints and pens that are good to use on fabrics...your local walmart probably has a section filled with sketchs which you could probably use as starters

Answer 2

The iron-on transfers do crack after awhile. But if you save the design then you can always make another.

And there are pens you can use on shirts. Some very cool ones. All colors, glitter ones, foamy ones that puff up, even glow in the dark ones. They also dont take to rough washing but its fun to do. You can get them at any arts-&-craft store. Or possibly a sewing/cloth shop.

But if your head is full of designs and you are looking for a way to express it things have become pretty easy. You can use the programs on your machine (or draw then scan) to create the designs then upload them to a "PoD" site (print on demand). Something like CafePress lets you open a free shop and sell shirts, mugs, mousepads, posters with your designs on them. They do all the mess and you get the profit.

Answer 3

Use t-shirt transfer paper because it's inexpensive. Also, the process of ironing the design on a tee is easy.

Answer 4

Contact the maker of the image considering the fact that if he unearths out you probably did that and made cash off it that's copyright and fraud considering the fact that you made out it was once yours... Hope I helped :)
