There are two main ways to make T-shirts at Makerspace! If you are looking for a more complicated, multi-color design or a picture-like finish, you may want to use heat transfer inkjet printable paper. If you are looking for a one color design, possibly with a glittery or metallic finish, heat transfer vinyl may be right for you. This option is best for text-based designs.
