    After becoming a parent, I wanted something creative and flexible to do during nap time. I started with a Crafted Threads design bundle, ordered a Cricut from Amazon, and made parent-themed shirts just for fun. Turns out, other parents LOVE custom t-shirts! Selling them at community meet-ups has been an amazing way to connect with others and make some extra money on the side. Highly recommend this setup!

    I've done home printer/iron on before at home. It looks really good on white shirts but after the first wash, it looks like its ready to become a house cleaning cloth. So, I recommend this only for one offs such as birthdays, memorials, etc. Something that you will only use one-time.

      Get an EcoTank printer and invest in sublimation ink for lasting t-shirts. 100% cotton will wash out. Works better on 65% poly and up.

    As a broke college student with a creative streak, I decided to start a simple t-shirt business. Here's my pipeline for success: Crafted Threads for the design bundle, Amazon for a budget-friendly heat press (or borrow one like I did!), and campus events for my marketplace. Now I’m selling witty shirts that are covering my coffee habit AND my textbooks. It’s been a game changer!

    You can buy weedless inkjet sheets in various sizes as well. So, no longer need to worry about trimming ( but I also used to add a stroke to the edge matching each color shirt so if trimming is off kinda cover that up) .But ironing still itself is more time consuming & not necessarily a perfectly flat pressure on the entire image, so inconsistency will still be an issue. Especially after washing a couple times.
    Used heat press...atleast until one can get that sweet automatic unit in the video.

    $25 plus the computer, plus the subscription for photoshop, plus the ink jet printer, plus cost of the shirts, plus media for heat transfer, not to mention the time spent learning photoshop, yeah, sounds like about a $25 budget.

    It's amazing how many people don't know how to make a how-to video. I mean they waste time telling us things that are common sense. They waste time and things that are nothing to do with the video. And they don't go into detail about some things. Like for example does it bleed after one wash? If so what's the other alternative? Also when you put the design on a t-shirt Can You Feel The Print or it doesn't blend in where you can't even feel the print? And whether you can feel it or not, what are the options to set it up where you can feel the print and where you cannot for the print? What are the pros and cons of making t-shirts with the print that you can feel and a print that you cannot feel? When you buy the t-shirts what your total cost? How much do you make when you sell everything? How much shipping? And there are more examples but you get the point.
