T-Shirt Business

Ever wondered how those awesome looking custom T-Shirts you can see on the street have been created ? The idea is pretty simple actually and you don’t have to be a genius to figure it out. First you need some plain old simple T-Shirts. The best one’s are those from cotton and that are plain, white color or any other one you think of. You might consider buying wholesale shirts. You will get them much more cheaper than if you buy just a couple of them at your local store.
Next you will need a color laser printer, a computer and a machine to apply the image to the t-shirt. What you do is simple, you take an image, picture in a photo program like Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw, edit the picture to suit your needs, add some text and you have something ready to put on your t-shirt. You will than print the image to a special type of paper. That piece of paper has a special material that when heated will transfer the image to the t-shirt. After you print the image, let it rest a little bit so that the ink has time to be fixed properly. Than insert the t-shirt and the image on top of each other and heat press them together. And that’s it. Now you have a nice custom t-shirt.
If you have decided to buy wholesale t shirts online you will have lot’s of them so be as creative as you can. You can create a small business from this if you have a good artistic eye and can create almost pieces of art. Also, the t-shirts you create are like a walking business card or banner. With a few well designed works you can have lots of customers knocking at your door. Or you may want to keep it simple, but I don’t think it’s a good idea because most of the equipment can be pretty expensive.
