How
to Screen Print a T-shirt
You have a computer, add to that a printer, some paint brushes, embroidery hoop,
ink, glue, nylons and some tracing ability and you can do your own screen
printing. If you only wish to do a couple of t-shirts then you don’t need the
computer and printer – just a couple of black and white images.
And one more thing you need to make a screen
printed t-shirt are instructions.
How
to Tie Dye a T-shirt
If you are an old hippie then you most likely recall how to tie
dye your t-shirt, otherwise take a refresher course here.
As mentioned on the home page, this is a great way to keep
children occupied. You can make it a party day and invite their friends.
Sew
Up Some Old Memories
How to Make a T-shirt Quilt
Don’t throw away your old t-shirts – keep them and when you have enough –
make a t-shirt quilt. If
you don’t have the time, or your level of sewing experience is wanting, you
can always get an experienced quilter to do the job for you or look for
“quilting classes for beginners” in your area.
Old family t-shirts with “memories” are best. Thrift shops
are another good source for second hand t-shirts, otherwise you’re looking at
buying 16 new ones.
The favourable thing about purchasing new t-shirts is that you
can set a theme. For example you may like to make a quilt displaying animals or
your favourite band.
The
Pit-falls of Ironing a T-shirt
Not everyone is aware of the damage you can do to the graphics of your t-shirt
if you tumble dry the t-shirt or iron the print or transfer.
Knowing this prompted me to go one step further and do a page on
'how to wash
and iron a t-shirt'. If this page saves just one t-shirt from disaster for
its owner, then it will have been worth the time and effort.
Don’t Get
Stuck With Gum on Your T-shirt
When at the cinema, have you ever had some idiot drop gum down between your back
and the seat? By the time you find out about the gum it is usually too late and
it is difficult to remove. The good news is, it can be removed with ice. Hold
the ice on the gum until it becomes cold and hard. On most occasions the
gum will just peal off.
A more dramatic approach is to place your gummy t-shirt in a
plastic freezer bag and then into the freezer. Allow about 12 hours before
removing the t-shirt and the gum should peal off without any resistance.
