How to create your own T-shirts

Posted by jennycooper on February 27th, 2014

Nowadays, with the technological developments that are all around us, it is very easy to check out the latest collection of a famous fashion designer, to purchase clothes from boutiques found thousands of kilometers away from your location, and to see the hottest trends in fashion.

Mainly, this is possible thanks to the World Wide Web and to the millions of Web pages that help us get updated to everything that happens in the world, in terms of fashion. But by knowing that this year’s most fashionable colour is orange and by purchasing chiefly the clothing made by a certain designer, we do not manage to express our own personalities.

We are trendy, but we are not unique. To avoid losing our essence, it is desirable to try to personalise our clothing. This can be done by handmaking it with yarns and needles like our grandma used to do, or by tailoring garments, to match our silhouette and style. Unfortunately for many, few people have skills in this regard, so this leads to personalising your clothing in other manner.

Instead of knitting and tailoring clothing, try to personalise the clothes that you already own and that need an upgrade. Take your T-shirts, for example. Most likely you have some quotes that you like or some photos that you would like to see imprinted on your T-shirt. If you do not have a special printer that can print on T-shirts directly, contact a professional.

To create your own T-shirts, first you have to find a website that allows you to buy and personalise high-quality T-shirts. T-shirts are designed for any size and come in a multitude of colours. After deciding on a type of T-shirts, it is time to select the image that you want to be imprinted on your future T-shirt.

You have the possibility to select one of the images provided by the website that you have previously selected, or you can upload your own images. It is recommended that you upload images that belong to you and that are not copyrighted, to avoid troubles. Examples of common images that get printed on T-shirts are the picture of your partner, child, family, or a lovely nature scene.

If you simply do not want to print one of your photos on the T-shirt, search for free images on the Web. To make sure you create your own T-shirts in a legal way, ask the permission of the photographer or illustrator of those free images to use them on your clothing. And if you simply do not want images on your T-shirt, just proceed to the next step.

When you design your own T-shirts, you also have the possibility of adding text to the T-shirt. This text can be one of your favourite movie lines, a quote from a good book, or an entire motivational phrase, anything that makes you happy and that transmits the message you want.

After typing the text that you want to see on your future T-shirt, you have to select the font, font colour, size, alignment, and other special characteristics, as provided by the website that you have selected to print your T-shirts. After you design your own T-shirts, you need to add them to your cart and place your order.
