subject: How To Iron A Picture On A Shirt [print this page] One of the coolest things to do is have your own clothing line, which may not always be easy to create. If you're wondering how to create your own shirts, there is something to look into that is quite interesting, and only requires a few things. The best way to create custom clothing is to learn how to iron a picture on a shirt. That's right, you can simply use a standard iron and create a t-shirt of any design you want. Full color, full bleed, washable, wearable, and whatever you want it to be, it can be all yours if you simply follow the following steps. Consider this option the next time you're wondering how to create your own style of shirt with graphics:
Purchase Paper There is a special type of transfer paper that you need to make this work. You can find t-shirt transfer paper at your local stationery store and big box office supply chain store. You need to make sure you have an inkjet or color laser printer. After you've purchased this paper, load it into your printer, and follow the rest of the steps.
Print Your Graphic Make sure that you get a graphic that is at least 300 DPI and make sure that it covers the area that you want it to cover. The coverage should fit into the right size shirt you have. Make sure that you have a t-shirt that is clean, 100% cotton or something similar, and is a solid color. The artwork should print out clean with no major cracks or breaks.
Iron Place your shirt on a flat surface; an ironing board or something else solid. Next, place your graphic on the shirt. You'll want to have the graphic facing away from you and free and clear of any major cracks. If you're having a hard time hold it in place, consider putting some tape alongside the edges of the paper, outside of the graphic, and then pass your iron through the graphic paper and onto the shirt. You will need to do this for a few minutes, making several passes. The passes should be short and steady, as you don't want to burn the shirt or the paper when doing this transfer.
The above steps will help you get yourself a quality picture. The graphic will create an epic shirt of your design, and you can start a clothing company, a design company or simply showcase your amazing work. You can create shirts of all designs with relative ease.
Remember, you need to make sure that you have an iron and you have a color ink printer for the best results. If you're not sure, make sure that you look into the printer settings that you have, and you should be fine. The price of these pieces isn't too expensive, and if you're savvy, you can make shirts for just a few dollars each!
