DIY - Graphic Tee Update



Yesterday, we posted a video called DIY - Graphic Tee: an easy and simple way to make a graphic t-shirt. We have been DYING to do this do-it-yourself for weeks and finally got the chance to today! If you want to refer back to, just scroll down to the previous post or click the D.I.Y page!




We went to JoAnn Fabric & Craft Store, as mentioned in the video, to buy the transfer paper for the images. We had a 40% off coupon so it came up to $4.79 plus tax (orig. price was 7.99!).


For the shirts, we did NOT want to spend a great amount of money. We went to at least five stores, choosing Dollar Tree in the end. We paid $1 (but of course!) for each shirt and got three!


Disclaimer: Now before you jump for joy at this find, there was a little doozy: the shirts were in boy sizes...so the large is the equivalent to a small in womens. Nonetheless, it was still a good deal...if you are a small. With that in the mind, the 2nd place with the best deal was Big Lots. Three shirts came in a pack for six bucks! VERY good deal!












This is the logo we used. It’s an anchor that has the text “I Refuse to Sink” wrapped around. We thought it would look nice on a t-shirt!












     AND IT DID! 








Out of the three shirts we made, this one was the BEST! (Okay, more like out of the two shirts…no comment).  We just love the teal color and how it makes the image pop! Also, it resembles the ocean…get it?

So, did anyone of you try it? Have a question that maybe was not answered in the video? Comment below!

xoxo,

Alex and Tee
