Are you all making your shirts yourself on your computer using your printer and transfer sheets, or are you having them done online by a company?

I saw a link earlier, but can't find it again.

TIA

Most of us are using transfer paper and printing the designs on our home printer. I think a few people may have taken the designs somewhere to have them professionally applied, but because of copyright laws you'll be hard pressed to find someone that will do it for you. Our understanding is that Disney images can only be used for personal use, so we make our own for our families. Have fun making yours.

That's what I was wondering, thank you! Do you have any suggestions for the best transfer paper or tried and true techiniques? I'd love any suggestions and tips. :)

Someone on ebay sells paper that a lot of us use. I don't know the sellers name, maybe someone else can help with that. I've also used Avery. I have found that the transfer paper made for dark colors works the best, even on light or white colored shirts. You do not have to print a mirror image for the dark paper as you would have to do if you used the paper for light colored shirts.

That's a great tip! Thank you! I hate doing the mirror image :thumbsup2
