MLM5.. aka Judy 97 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hi Fiends, I have been playing around with the idea of making matching T-shirts for my family for our Disney trip. I have never done it, but it seems pretty easy. I have been googling and have found several designs on the internet. Do any of you make T-shirts and is it really as easy as printing and ironing it on? Here'a few of the designs I came up with last night while playing around. I'd love to see what you have!These are all pretty basic, but in the infamous words of Joe Dirt "..I'm newwww... I dont know what to dewwww..." :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I have never done iron on transfers, but I like the designs you've come up with :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4mickey2 41 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 are you using gimp? i want to try to make some myself. i would also like to try to do the vinyl shirt designs. i have no idea how to make those. let me know what program you are using. thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MLM5.. aka Judy 97 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Corel photoshop 3 is what I did those on... do that make programs for actually designing? These are just modified jpeg files.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo..Karla 77 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I made some for my Grandson...but, I got some of these files last year from the other place's designers and some just hunting around on the internet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MLM5.. aka Judy 97 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 OHHHH.. I'm loving the FW one, would you mind sharing that one? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo..Karla 77 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 OHHHH.. I'm loving the FW one, would you mind sharing that one? :)No problem at all...as I said, these are not my original designs and as far as I know there is no copy protection on them unless you are selling for business purposes I don't have gimp or anything fancy...just used MSPublisher/MSWord/Photoshop. Takes a while to manipulate but I think the results came out okay for what I wanted.You would not believe how many people have asked where I bought Aiden's shirts....Disney doesn't realize what a fortune they are losing by not having specific resort branded merchandise!!I also made these designs into shirts for Aiden which he will be debuting over the next week or so while we're here.

MLM5.. aka Judy 97 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 omg THOSE rock! I have no intentions of selling anything, the more you get to know me the more you'll learn, I have not near enough energy to do this for profit, I'll be lucky to do enough for my family .. :rofl2: I just really like the idea of us all having matching shirts, such a cute idea! I have never heard of gimp so I haven't a clue, how would we know if something was copyrighted or not? I just have a vision of being chased by the popo at WDW for having someones copy right on my shirt.. seriously.. that's my luck Maybe Jen will pipe in here.. she is the resident expert!I have all the ones I saved in Coral, I can add text and move it around. Some of the images I had to "rub out" other peoples text and then inserted mine over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4mickey2 41 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 jen---oh, jen---- we need some assistance here. loli know rog used gimp and i thought jen had, too. i am just trying to modify the shirts. i have no idea how to create one. but, i do need to learn how to do that,too. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

campingmommy aka Kelli 7 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'm making ones for our trip next week. I've done the iron transfers last time. This time I'm embroidering them. I'm having a fun time...learning how to embroider and appliqué. Ill post pics when I'm done tomorrow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm having a fun time...learning how to embroider and appliqué. Ill post pics when I'm done tomorrow!Are you hand embroidering? I can't afford a machine but would love to figure out how to do that type of thing.Do any of you worry about putting your child's name on their shirt? I thought that was one of the big no-no's due to stranger's using that to convince kids they already know them. You know, "Come this way, Jimmy. Your mother is over here. I'm her friend and she told me to come get you. Don't remember meeting me last year, Jimmy? Your mother introduced us! Well, I remember you!" I don't mean to be a buzz kill. I am just surprised. But then again, I am defintely the over protective type. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MLM5.. aka Judy 97 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Holy buzz killer Marty! :rofl2: j/k, you do have a very very valid point. Last year when I went with just me and the 4, I didnt do shirts and that wasn't the main reason but it was in the back of my mind, 1 mom to 4 kids, chances are, I couldnt keep my eye on them 100% of the time. However, this year, big daddy is coming with me and they won't be out of my sight while in the parks. My big kids aren't what you'd call trusting children..lol.. not sure that is always a bad thing either. As for my little guys, they will be leashed to me or daddy or strapped in the stroller at all times, sadly, my 1 & 2 year old know NO strangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then again, I am defintely the over protective type.Not on the T-shirts but I have other crafts that I do hand embroider. I saved up enough money from my other crafts that I sell on Ebay/Etsy to buy a smaller embroidery machine...nothing fancy. I only put the kid's name on the beach towels that I embroidered, simply because they both wanted the same design and I know they would be fighting over who's was who's! Other than that, I don't have any names on our shirts this year. I'll post the family t-shirts from last year...they are cute and very easy to modify if anyone wants the design. But they do have everyone's name on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MLM5.. aka Judy 97 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I would love to see them Kelli, thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingmommy aka Kelli 7 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Front of Shirt: Back of shirt: It says 2011 because I was originally going to use this but then decided not to. They look great on a red or blue shirt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Momoffive aka Loretta 34 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have been looking at the do-it-yourself Mickey Head tie-die shirts. I think that will be a fun afternoon this summer. Does anyone remember the Halloween design Rog did a few years ago? I have it on my other laptop. Loved it. Didn't get around to making it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
