How to Design Your Own Youth Group Shirts Online
Websites offer custom designed T-shirts that allow youth groups to pick exactly how they want their shirts to look. You can pick your own fonts and designs or choose from clip art images provided by the company. You can also pick T-shirt colors and styles, all before committing to order any. You no longer have to pick a design out of a catalogue or have to deal with graphic designers' errors. Once you have an idea of what you would like your shirt to look like, you can begin.

Pick a T-shirt style. Consider the season and whether you want long-sleeved, short-sleeved or sleeveless T-shirts. If the T-shirt is just for girls in the youth group, you may consider selecting a women's cut shirt that will fit closer. If your youth group is mostly younger students, you may want to select youth sizes instead of adult sizes.

4
Add artwork to the T-shirt. On many sites, you can select either artwork that is already in the company's system or upload your own artwork. If you decide to upload your own art, draw or use a computer graphics program to design the artwork. Scan in hand-drawn artwork with a computer scanner and save the file as an image file. If you use a computer program, design the art and then save it as an image file. Load the image on the website.

Add lettering. You can add a Bible verse, the name of your youth group or church or the name of the event that the T-shirt commemorates.

Place your order. Follow the steps on the website to purchase the design in the number of shirts you need.
