Excuse the ''bluriness'' of the picture, but most importantly, the shameless self promotion. I thought it would be a good idea to make a t-shirt, since I still had t-shirt transfer paper, purchased a year before. The only problem was that when I decided to make this t-shirt I didn't actually have a white t-shirt. I went off to Wal Mart, which was where I had previously purchased the pack of transfer paper, and found what I needed. (I kind of hate going to Wal Mart, but sometimes it just has exactly what you were looking for, argh!) Now... what to print? What to print? Well, the possibilities seemed endless, and in the end I opted for my blog picture, the one I used for my first post and you can see the result in my picture. :) I then went to family function, and having decided to dress down, I wore my new t-shirt and had a couple of aunts and uncles ask, ''Wait, is that you?''... Weird! Aside from the shades, I thought I looked like myself! I hadn't actually retouched anything on my face. I thought I would share this project here, it's easy, cheap and a fun tool to use when making personalized gifts or simply looking for something original to wear. DO IT! p.s. when you buy your pack of transfer paper, try to opt for the cheaper pack with say 3 sheets, rather than twenty, unless you intend on making that many t-shirts, read instructions properly and don't forget to select T-Shirt Transfer Paper when printing, in order to get the mirror image you will iron onto the shirt.Day 26 - DO IT!
