cdrumm4448 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 personalized t-shirt for my son (who is 9) for his lawn mowing service? I Googled it and got one hit for exactly that, but I don't care for the graphics. Anyone else ever do this? I would like something like "Alex's Lawn Mowing" and our phone number.

LauraGB Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Have you checked locally? There are often places that just do that sort of thing, and then there are the trophy places that also do clothing. Otherwise, I'd look into CafePress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datgh Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Google Vista Print. They might do it. They do just about everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Cute. My then-9 year old had a 'handyboy' business, and I wanted to buy him a personalized tee-shirt as well. I priced them at my local trophy shop and it seemed reasonable enough, but he ended up preferring a polo shirt with an embroidered logo. More professional looking, he said ;) We did a mall trip, hit up Gap for the shirt and the embroidery stand for the logo. Easy, cheap, done in an afternoon, and I got a white chocolate macademia cookie from Mrs. Field's. Smiles all around that day. I love that you're so encouraging of his venture!

DB in NJ Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 How about Cafe Press? I had a t-shirt made once there, and we made our own graphics up on the computer. They did a great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJoy Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I've ordered from Zazzle as well--same idea as Cafe Press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I like them better....I ordered a bag for my dd from Zazzle, and they did a better job than CafePress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I would look in the Yellow Pages and find some place locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo Ninja Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Why not do it yourself? You can buy printer iron-on transfer paper, design it with your word processing program, then print it on your home printer. Since you aren't even looking for graphics it is quite easy to do. The key is to get the print the size you want, then mirror it (just a setting to click on) so that it prints mirrored, then it irons on correctly. You can then use any t-shirt you want, but 100% cotton works best, and you need to wash and dry it before you iron on the transfer. I have had my dc do this for gifts and it works well.
