have you ever gone through your favorite store, come accross a caption tee shirt and thought, dude! i've been saying that for years! why didn't i make a shirt?? or maybe you thought, wow, that is such a good idea, but no way am i gonna pay that much for a friggin' tee shirt, man! or perhapse it just struck you one day, you know, i really wanna walk around with someone else's face on my chest!
well, are you in luck! i have the solution to all your tee shirt problems right here! all you need is a fairly cheep, plain tee shirt in your size (don't go overboard for something you're just gonna alter, anyway -- or ever, really... it's a friggin' tee shirt), a hand-opperated clothing iron, an ink-jet printer, and craft store cloth decals. find all these, and you're ready to go! it's easy as one, two, three!
ONE! create your image or caption, whether on the computer or by hand, and transfer decals via ink jet printer. there are two major decal kits in circulation now: those for colored cloth, and those for non-colored cloth. (note: images for non-color decals will need to be flipped backwards)
TWO! place your decal image where you want it on your tee shirt (colored decals face up, non-colored face down -- non-color decals can be used on color shirts, but every color will be changed when against the new color, and what was white will become the actual color of the shirt) with the included parchment paper over top. press and hold hot iron to the middle of the decal for a couple seconds, then continue to the rest through feathering strokes, center to edge, for about thirty seconds.
THREE! remove parchment paper and protective contact layer. for a glossy finish, remove contact immediately (though, from personal experience, i do not suggest this to novices -- not until you've had a lot of practice), otherwise, wait until they cool to remove for satiny finish.
there you have it, a chance to declare your philosophies, rip off ideas, and cry out ot the world through disgusting displays that you are, indeed, dating this person that you are really not dating and only think you are because you are a crazy psycho. i really don't care what you do with this information, just use it!
for i am we and we are labrats and LABRATZ-R-WE!!
Thanks, Franki. I think I will. I know the perfect design!
