How to Transfer T-Shirt Designs

Video Transcript

"GRACE FRAGA: So next, Chantelle is going to teach us how to put the design on the T-shirt. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yes, okay. So--how--more so, we're going to sit down and think about how are we going to get this design on the front of this T-shirt. All right? Now, before, we have stenciling and we have all different ways, but you want to find out how are you going to get the design on the T-shirt. And why you want to do that is you want to make sure that you have the right team beside you. I have a seamstress, so I have someone that sews for me. You want to make sure that, okay, say, if I have something there, a big old patch that needs to be sewn, do I know how to sew? If I don't, who am I going to pay? Or who am I gonna, like, maybe trade something with so that I can really get a physical copy of this design? Again, a physical copy of this design is good. You need to take pictures and cover yourself, copyright wise. So how are we going to get this on here? So do you want it to be hand painted? Are you going to sit down and hand paint it up? If you have a bunch of colors and you have different hand paints, hand painting is really good. It's a really good way to execute a design that has a lot of colors. GRACE FRAGA: Okay. CHANTELLE TIBBS: If you want to screen print a design with a lot of colors, it's going to run you a lot of money because, again, you have all these screens that are going. So this specific design, the one that we have right here... GRACE FRAGA: Let me show it to you. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...we have to--and you know what? I want to hand paint this design because it's very, very simple to hand paint. It's not going to take a lot of time. And I want to focus on the detail and the expression and the characters of each faces. So that's the way that I would put this on this. But you sit down, look at your design and you think about what you think is best. Do you want to screen print? Whatever you want to do."
