OK, now the bad paper has found a home and the good paper is on it's way. In the process I ruined 4 of my shirts! I kept thinking that I was doing something wrong and that I would get it right the next time.

Important lesson learned, as much as you hate to do it, you should test your skills on scrap fabric...

That being said, where would you recommend getting more shirts? Cheap but good quality.

I bought my last set from blankshirts.com and got the Gildan 100% cotton 6.1oz. I really like these and would like to stick to the same brand/style of shirts.

Where is the cheapest place (including shipping) that I can get these shirts?

Does anyone know of retail stores that carry this brand??

Are they ruined ruined or something you can slvage by tie dying or getting creative with fabric paint?

J&N - I ironed on a hard flat desk. I ruined 3 shirts trying different ironing times and different ways of pulling the paper off. I think I'm just going to give in and order some of the avery paper. At least I know it works, I want my shirts to look as good as your designs look on the computer!

Do you think that I can put an "iron-on" on top of an "iron-on" of the same design and maybe salvage the shirts that I have ruined. If anyone has tried this already and failed miserably, please let me know so that I don't waste any more transfers.

I'll go check out the other thread, I had forgotten about it since I got my shirts in!

Thanks BTW - I love your 4 parks one!

When I ironed, I left the paper on till it cooled because the directions with my paper (not Avery) said if you wanted a glossy finish, to let the paper cool and then pull off. It didn't come out glossy, but came out much, much better. Hope that helps, and once you find out what works for you... you'll be even MORE addicted!!

OK all DDA members. How many of you have dreamt of owning a heat press?

WDWorBUST-she's so cute and that shirt looks awesome!

Whats funny is that about a week ago I got an e-mail offer from Hanes.com or something offering to sell used heat presses. I actually considered it for a minute until I forced myself to delete it. Avoid temptation.

 

[lovesdumbo]

That is too funny. When I read her post I started thinking "humm I wonder how much one of those heat press machines cost". Than I had to slap myself upside the head. What in the heck would I do with something like that.

A "hobby" version (one that can do 8-12 T's in a session) runs around $350. We could create a "heat press swap". Everyone can chip in and then we can all share. Maybe we could do it like the stroller swap and folks can make them at their resorts and have the press held in luggage hold till the next DDA member claims it. Do you think heat presses are allowed in the resort rooms? Then maybe we'll all pitch in to purchase one for hats ($600 ) and start a whole new craze.

I found t-shirts in the boys section of walmart for $2.00/each. And they weren't thin.

Oh, but its not big enough!! And I dont have enough days to wear all the designs I LOVE!!

 

[Disneynutbsv]

I love this!!!

Julia & Nicks Mom...My mom loved this one, so I just added a border to it for her. She says it's very classic and simple (she likes simple).

 

[honeymo78]

What brand were the shirts from walmart? Can anyone suggest a retail store and/or brand for good but inexpensive shirts? Are there cami type tops that would work too? Any particular colors (other than white) that work well? I think I might try and do some shopping for materials this weekend. Future DH has agreed to wear one for MNSSHP and possibly a wedding themed one.

Julia & Nicks Mom - your designs are great! There are two that I would like to slightly customize if at all possible. You are an angel to help out those of us who are not crafty/creative. I can send you a PM this weekend if its okay.

I love how you both went from b/w to color! Looks great! Isn't it fun working together to make all these great shirts?

Here you go duckyfordonald. Hopefully this will work for you.

momof2OH -- I was wondering if you wouldn't mind putting "PopPop a.k.a Donald" at the bottom of your Donald design.

My dad is a big Donald fan and always teases my kids and says that Donald is #1 when they, of course, cheer for Mickey! My dad's name also happens to be Donald, so we have quite a few family jokes going on and I would love to have a Donald t-shirt for him.

Thank you so much!!

This is perfect! Thank you again! Dillon is going to be SO excited to wear this!

I started a t-shirt for our next trip to the Studios. But I need help from my fellow DDAs! I have a beautiful background photo of "The Hat," and a saying: "Lights, Camera, Oehrleins!" Now what I need is a good clip art image of Director Mickey and the newer Disney-MGM Studios logo.

Google searches have failed me! All I can find is the old logo. I noticed one of you pages and pages ago (I'm so sorry I forgot who it was) had worked all 4 theme park logos into one design, and that logo looked great. Any idea where it came from?

So far, the best Director Mickey I've found online is a photo of a pin, and I think it's a little too 3-D looking to work into my design.

Please help!
