How to Make Professional T Shirts

Make your own professional t-shirt to represent your company or small-business.

Many companies would love to have t-shirts that represent who they are without spending a fortune on them. Some companies only have one or two employees and do not want to pay for 12 shirts to get a discount. This is where knowing how to make your own professional t-shirt is beneficial. Simply design a logo or download one and you are on your way to a wearable company brand.

Things You'll Need

• Plain t-shirt
• Computer
• Transfer or freezer paper
• Iron
• Scissors
• Ironing board

Instructions

1. Find your company logo online or design your own logo for your t-shirt. Download the logo into your photo editing software. You can use Photoshop, Illustrator or an online program.

2. Use the flip horizontal button to flip your image so it appears to be a mirrored image of your design. Print this onto the transfer paper. Use your scissors to cut out the design.

3. Place a piece of cardboard between your t-shirt and your ironing board where you plan to iron on the image. Lay the image on top of the t-shirt fabric. Place a piece of cloth over the image so that when you begin to iron you are not doing so directly on the image.

4. Using your iron, lightly press the cloth in even circles that start in the middle of the image and spread out. The trick is to use enough heat but to make sure you place the heat evenly across the entire image.

5. Allow the image to cool. For best results wait at least three days before washing.
