Things to Keep in Mind While Decorating Your T-shirt with Stickers

Decorating your t-shirt with stickers is fun and all, however, one simple mistake could mess up your entire garment. This is why it is important to ensure that you do it right the first time.

So how should you go about it? Let’s see.

  • Always.

Do not rush things. Keep them simple, and slow. The very first step when it comes to decorating your t-shirt, regardless of the method you follow, is to iron it properly. Essentially, you should iron your t-shirt on a hard, flat surface. This will remove any creases and wrinkles from your garment and will also ensure that there is no moisture seeping inside which might interfere with your DIY process later on.

  • Collect the required supplies

We understand that you are excited about your DIY project, and want to start it as soon as possible. But it is necessary that you collect all the required supplies at once for the flawless execution of the project.

  • Analyze the sticker

You are in love with your free laptop stickers. However, look at it properly and analyze the material it is made up of. Vinyl stickers work best and can easily be transferred on the t-shirt with the help of an iron.

If it is paper-based, you might need to use a parchment paper for it. If it is of substandard quality, it might not be a great fit for your t-shirt. Either way, weigh your options properly.

  • Aftercare

Once you have successfully completed the project, it is necessary that you adopt proper safety measures. Avoid washing your t-shirt too often as this might rip off your sticker. Further, you must also avoid ironing the sticker as this might crack it up.

  • Call a professional

If you are a big fan of a brand, and this DIY project is not your cup of tea, you can take help of a professional who can help you in printing your favorite logo on the t-shirt.
