T-Shirts


Making a T-Shirts is one of the most fun Special Projects you can do with Digital Photography.

You need "Iron-Ons" which can be purchased from Staples, etc.
You need n Ink-Jet Printer.
You need your computer.
You need your digital camera.

Take the picture.  Edit it on your computer.  Put "text" on the image (every program is different).
Once you"ve got the image and text you want in the correct colors and place, you must find a way (in your software) to FLIP the picture horizontally.  This will show up as a "mirror" image with the text backwards.

Following the instruction on your "Iron-On" sheets, put the blank T-Shirt on a smooth and solid surface, place the Iron-On on top of the T-Shirt, cover the entire object with a smooth sheet and iron.  THIS PROCESS REQUIRES LOTS OF PRACTICE!  You have to learn the power of your printer (how much ink it will put on the iron-on), and what setting the iron should be set at!   PRACTICE with an old T-shirt and a few iron-ons BEFORE you make the final!
