The easiest way to make your own t-shirts

I promise that very soon we will get into some real crafty ways to do it yourself, but let's start out real simple and go for the number one easiest way to make your own t-shirts. That's right! Have someone else do it! There are a bunch of companies now that allow you to design your own T on the web and they'll print it and send it to you. I've been researching loads of these sites lately. Some of them will restrict you to text, or combinations of their own images. A few will let you upload your own images.

My favorite is Spreadshirt because it's really easy and you can literally do whatever you want to. The image you use can be a photograph, a drawing you've scanned into your computer, or a graphic you created with a graphics editor like Photoshop. Just make sure that you have the legal rights to print the image, especially if you plan to sell it (That's right, you can even sell it on Spreadshirt). Or just simple text. You can play around with fonts and sizes and placement of the words. Their prices are totally reasonable, and it varies with what you're going to put on your shirt. Text alone is the cheapest, and they'll charge a bit more for every line of text. An image is slightly more, and an image and text combined is a bit more still.

So if you have ideas to make your own t-shirts but don't have the time or the desire right now to get your hands dirty and learn how to do this at home, check out Spreadshirt and make your own t-shirts in minutes online.
