Q: Okay here's the rundown: *Late at night (school night) *Need 4 t-shirts which each read (I GRADUATED FROM UNIVERSITY AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT) *I thought I had transfers-I don't *I tried contact paper-just kept falling off *I tried ironing it (with protective cloth)-did nothing *I tried writing it-looked sloppy and far too time consuming (considering I have to do 3 tomorrow afternoon...) *And now I'm here asking this very question... What's away-using contact-or anything else (other than transfers) that will get the writing from my computer onto a shirt...sorry guys-I'm desperate... Can I photocopy onto the t-shirt?
A: Print out your wording on plain paper with your computer Place a piece of waxed kitchen paper, waxed side against the printing. Transfer the outlines to the waxed paper (your outlines will be on the unwaxed side) Once you've transferred the letters to the wax paper, then use crayons to color in the letters/design on the waxed side. The waxier the crayons the better. The heavier you color, the darker the transfer to the shirts. When you've finished coloring, place a sheet of heavy paper or cardboard inside the shirt to prevent the design from going through to the other side. Place the waxy side against your t-shirt and press with a medium warm iron (double check that your message is readable!) Do not move the iron back & forth but press down, lift up, move to new spot, overlapping as you go. The dyes in the crayons will permanently color the t-shirts. The wax will eventually wash out. You can also use this process to transfer just the lettering to your shirts and then you can color in the outlines with markers. Just make sure that whatever you want to transfer is on the waxy side. Definitely do not forget to place cardboard inside if going with the marker method.
