Iron On T-Shirt Transfers

[BeatMaster]

Has anyone had any experience with using iron on t-shirt transfers? I've got a friend's 21st birthday that is rave theme'd coming up on Saturday and struggling to find something to wear. I had the idea of creating a funky t-shirt for the event instead

Perhaps with some sort of slogan, "Insomnia" "I can't get no sleep" or perhaps "Superstar Deejay". Further suggestions welcome

If the quality of the transfers is good, I'll pick some black/white t-shirts up in town and create my very own personalised t-shirts

Thanks in advance,

BeatMaster

fabric paint and some photoshop made stencils is best IMO, same sort of price too

Could always pick up some glowsticks? Snap them and use the liquid to create a flourescent design on a t-shirt with splashes and whatnot?

Yeah, used them plenty. Dead easy to do, but the cheap ones don't last long... 1 wash at the most. Which will be fine for what you want.

Whsmith sells them pretty cheap, should be in the paper section somewhere near the art stuff.

Which one's last longer, I wouldn't mind keeping it if it turns out quite good

I know John Lewis sells iron on transfers which have lasted a long time for me

C&H Fabrics are also very good.

I have used them before. Very easy to use. Just print form your printer and iron on. Have never washed the T-Shirt tho (Hung up in my wardrobe - i would never ware it out )

The ones that lasted a while were £15 for ten sheets and i picked them up from a local purple computer shop (think of planet type themes). I did a couple of t-shirts with that stuff and the t-shirt fabric has worn out all round the collar and sleeves (like all these shirts come pre-old'ified nowadays only mines better) but the transfer bit still looks wicked.

The ones from smiths seem very plasticy and solid when you wear the shirt and they crack and split apart after a few washes.
