custom t-shirts

The trend, fad, fashion, the IN thing to do is to create an identity of your own. And this identity is increasingly being expressed in every aspect most peoples everyday life. And one of the most important forms of expressing ones attitude is through the clothes one wears. That explains the increasing popularity of all kinds of customized clothes. And topping this list is definitely Custom T Shirts.

Custom TShirts are a great and yet a simple way of making a statement of your personality. And the best thing about Custom TShirts is that they are the most cost effective of being yourself. Custom T Shirts are basically T-Shirts that have been done up with some kind of special effect suiting your basic personality or printing something stating your views on any given subject.

Printing with puff ink is an extremely popular kind of a special effect that is done on t shirts and sweatshirts. Puff ink is an interesting element that raises or puffs up as soon as the ink is dried after the printing process. This is a cool way of adding a three dimensional look to the design on your TShirt. If done in the proper way, this puff ink technique can be a great and low cost substitute for the look of embroidery.

Another great effect can be that of shimmers for your Custom T-Shirts. These shimmers combine the best features of glitters and metallics. Shimmers in fact sport a look that is quite similar to that of metallics, but of course they have a much greater sparkle and a wide colour range of glitters.

The Shimmer inks have an added feature of being non tarnishable and highly opaque. Shimmers also have an excellent capacity for elasticity and are very washable. And you might need to use dye instead of paint depending on the process you use to make the Custom Tshirts. If you are using the method of tie dyeing or batik, you definitely will require a good quality of a fabric dye.

Tie Dye for making Custom TShirts is not a very easy job as it can be a real mess. But if you are still determined to try it and are daring enough to do so do gather your rubber gloves, rubber bands, and fabric dyes, and get ready to delve in and have a messfully good time.

Traditionally, batiking does not require the use of wax at the time of laying out the design. But well, in this method that is being proposed, do get out your white glue, your many paintbrushes and of course your fabric dye, the more colors the better. Heat applied transfers is a much simpler way to create those Custom TShirts without all the mess of the tie dying.
