subject: Ways Of Making Custom T-shirts Look Unique [print this page] Fashion trends keep changing with time, and being able to go with the trends can be an advantage. The challenge is that sometimes, new trends with custom t-shirts can be expensive for anyone who wants to try them. For this reason, being able to personalize your own tees and make them unique is not only a fashion but also a business advantage. There are quite a number of ways in which one can make t-shirts look stylish and custom. The resultant work can be used to make promotional tees or just your own apparel. Here are different ways on how to achieve that.
Iron Heat and Press Transfers
By using the iron on transfer method, it is easy to transfer any wording or artwork onto t-shirts or clothing of your choosing. This method of making custom t-shirts works best with non-colored t-shirts. However, light colored t-shirts can also do although they have to be light enough so that the transfer can be clearly visible on them.
You can find sheets for blank iron transfers on which you can design, print and transfer the images and words to the blank t-shirts you want to make. The most important part when doing a transfer print is to ensure that you flip the image so that it will appear on the custom t-shirts the way you designed it.
Fabric Designs Gluing
It is also possible to personalize tees using old t-shirt fabric. This is a bit simple because you just have to cut them into desirable shapes and glue them on the tees you want to customize. The advantage of this method is that you can cut out any symbols, shapes and designs you like and glue them to all types of tees without having to worry about color restrictions as you would with the iron heat transfer method.
Collect any old clothes or t-shirts from which you will be able to cut out any shapes and sizes of fabric to use in making the designs for gluing on the tees you are looking to customize. Using chalk, mark out the design, symbol or shape you want to cut out and cut using scissors. Apply glue on the layouts at the back and the stick them carefully on the t-shirts you want to customize. This method of creating custom t-shirts is definitely slow, but can be used on a small scale to make unique tees for street wear and even causes.
Beading
Beading as a method of customizing t-shirts involves the use of beads, which are sewn onto t-shirts. almost any type and size of beads can be used in the process, although the bigger ones are normally caught easily and can therefore fall off quite quickly. Beads are purchased from craft stores, online or local bead stores.
Using a needle and quilt thread, you can sew the beads onto a predetermined line so that you make the patterns you want. Some people make custom t-shirts by sewing beads randomly throughout the tees. The most important thing is to ensure that you make tight knots when beading your tees.
