A camping board T Shirt?

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

What I need to figure out (again- used to know how to do it a long time ago... couple years ago when I made memory pages for my kids for the yearbooks at school LOL) is how to make the most use of each transfer paper- when I make the small ones for DD- there is "almost" half a page left... just wasted when cut off. I don't know how to put something small on with the same picture though so it will all print on the transfer paper at the same time. I gotta work on that and figure it out. LOL

Cant you flip the page(making the bottom of the page now become the top of the page) and run the page through again, printing the smaller design on the blank half of the paper?

I thought about that- but the transfer paper is so precious I didn't want to chance it. LOL My printer has a mind of it's own sometimes and what if it printed the 2nd one larger than I thought and overlapped? That would be a disaster LOL
I'd rather figure out how to get it all on one page to print at once- kinda like how Shan had all those musket mickeys all every which way on the paper- KWIM? LOL

Well, someone had mentioned the camping picture as possibly something earlier, I whipped this up if anyone is interested. You really could have any saying on it you wanted. This one was just for posting purposes.

This was the pic I used for the shirts- Thank you Seabee!!! My boys love it!

I didn't scale down the pics- though I wish I would have... I just figured if I couldnt get 2 on the page, why not just make them big...LOL

I printed out one at a 5x7 size and it just looked lost on the back of the shirt-even though it was a sz6 youth shirt.... oh well- the boys like them- so thats fine with me...

Bibidy- the shirts are just full tye-dye with a spiral in the middle- though i wonder if i could get the mickey head in white somehow ....hrrrmmm... let me work on that one and i'll get back to you...

I was messing around with more stuff on Gimp last night... I figured out how to add, move and rotate text!!!! Yippe for me I am a Computer Loser!!!

Thanks again to Rog and Seabee for the design work!

WOW...thank you!!!!!




Vickmeys, I put these together for you. Hopefully you'll like one of them

Thanks so much!!! I love them all!!!!

HEEEEEEEY....WAIT a MINUTE here!!!!!! Are you calling me....oh, nevermind!!!

Thanks again to Rog and Seabee for the design work!

Nicole....do you happen to have the "Living The Life" pic without any font on it? Just curious!

 

[Tigger0624]

Rog- I meant that I suck at computers is all- you guys rock!

I've spent HOURS trying to figure out that program and all i can get is basic text on a pic and if i'm luck I can move it or rotate it...lmao... I'll stick to the regular crafty stuff and leave the gods and goddesses of computers to the technical stuff

Heck- I cant even win with saving something off a website! I found a really cute pic that was Micky head filled with a cartoonish Castle pic and Cinderella in the front- but its too small to do anything with Boo Hoo :-(

Not only that- but I cant remember where I found it either!!!!

These shirts are so awesome! I'm going to go back and read the thread again to learn how to make the transfers. Is this something that is easy to do?

Ive done that a thousand times...accidentally stumble on something good...then forgot where the heck it was or how I found it!!!

 

[DisneyPeanut]

Ok, so I just finished reading this whole thread. I am really NOT computer savy. From what I understand I right click on the image I like on this thread save it, I have been saving into my pictures is that ok? Then I print it out on my regular printer, cut it out and iron it on?? Is it really that easy?

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Thats pretty much it in a peanut-shell!!! But you have to use transfer paper in your printer, just in case ya missed that part. Copy it, print it, trim it, iron it, wear it!!!

 

[DisneyPeanut]

where do i get transfer paper? and what brand? kind?

Great pun.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

You can get it in any craft supply like Michaels, as well as Walmarts craft section. The only brand Ive used that wasnt good was Avery...I find that the transfer paper made for "dark fabric" works best...but if your using white shirts, the "light fabric" type is fine.

 

[DisneyPeanut]

Thank You!

Wait- you said something about the BACK of the boy's shirts? Are you putting the design on the back or the front?!?
I went to MIchaels today on my way home- the sale ended last Sunday! So the shirts are on sale now $2.99 which is fine- except 3 of us need the fitted shirts (us gals) which are $5.99.
So I didn't buy nearly as many as I'd hoped since they were more expensive. We gals can't use the regular size- by the time we get them to fit our chest (and for DD8 that would be her tummeh.... LOL) then the shirt is huge- almost to our knees and sleeves past our elbows. So we have to use fitted. Bummer huh? Figures I'd miss the sale. LOL

Has anyone ever used transfer paper that says it's for soft and stretchy shirts? Just curious. I wonder if those would work better for us gals who tend to stretch the front of the shirt out (vs guys who don't)?

 

[BigDaddyRog]

I havent used that type of transfer paper Boo...I think its fairly new, I read where Shan mentioned that it works better on a cotton blend shirt than 100% cotton...but have no experience with this at all.



IMPORTANT LINK...

I just mentioned about finding cool stuff on the web and forgetting where I found it later...well..in an attempt to save this memory...I just stumbled on this DISNEY WALLPAPER SITE. It has some Large High Def Disney pictures that could be great for TeeShirt Designs!!!!

I showed DH the shirt I made him last night, while he slept. And he said HE LIKE!

The avery transfers for stretchable fabric MUST be used on high synthetic count shirts. I tried it on a low count (30% poly, 70 Cotton?) and it was a miserable mess... ruined the shirt! I got it thinking it would be better for a rotund fellow, who might be more prone to stretching his shirts.

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

It's not Avery- it's June Tailor... think that might make a difference? LOL

I really REALLY need to figure out how to get search to work and find a thread somewhere about making mickey head tie dye shirts. I bought white shirts to do this on and I can't remember if I'm supposed to wash them first- or not wash them first. argh
Ofcourse I also need to know how to DO them... But gotta start from the beginning and for me the beginning is do I wash them first or not! Gotta find a thread on this......
