Soo, I tried mentioning this to a few people but most of them think I'm a weirdo

so yep, here I am

I want to get a plain white t-shirt (or similar) and get some of those thingies (you know where you print out pictures and iron??? it on) so I can make a top will all my pets on it..what do you think?

I seem to recall that someone...pophammy maybe?? has done this. If you did hope you don't mnd me stealing your idea lol

Just think it would be a cute thing to do XD

Janeeee

Yes it would be me! Both Souffle and I have matching Custard Hamstery ones! We don't mind at all! I think you can get plain white tops in Primark or similar shops, and I would imagin you can get the transfer paper at either a computer shop like PC World or a stationary store like Staples, though I am not sure as Souffle normally buys it! She will probably tell you more. When you buy the transfer paper e sure to get it for light coloured clothing, not dark coloured as this doesn't work on light tops.

Haha I'm glad you don't mind

Thought it was you! Think I will look at somewhere like Primark, they usually have that type of stuff (and really cheap too lol)...have been looking on ebay at transfer paper, it seems to be about £4-10, is that a "normal" price for it? Am gunna go do some googling

Thanks

I'm not sure how much it costs, as I said its souffle who buys it!!!

I think she will be on this evening some time so will tell you. I will ask her anyway!

Okily dokily

Any pics of yours? I know I've seen it but my memory is useless :P

**pophammy** · 08-06-2007, 02:03 PM

This is the best pic I can find of me wearing it. Hmmm have looked for the actual design (I made it on the computer) but can't find it!

Perhaps it's saved on a different computer!

If you would like you could send me some pictures and I could photoshop them into a design and print it onto a sheet for you and give it to you at Rotherham, then you can iron it onto your own T-shirt. This will save you buying a whole pack. We could also bring you some sheets so you could make your own designs. If you want to print pictures onto dark materials you have to get a different type of transfer paper, but this doesn't keep and goes flaky after a few months. My Email address is the same as my msn address (which you have) if you want to send me some pics. If you want a few sheets of the dark transfer paper I am happy to bring it as we have quite a lot which we won't use up. There are lots of different coloured T-shirts in Primark for only about £2 at the moment!

I bought the T shirt trasfer paper in Staples Jane. It was about £10 but it was buy one get one free. Buy the all cotton T shirts at Primark or Matalan. The transfers do not stretch well so the lycra stretchy ones dont work so well. Just you wait when all your friends see yours they will be begging you to make them one. Pophammy makes her friends them for birthdays and they are always pleased with a personalised gift. With the light coloured transfer paper you need to mirror the image before you print and iron it on as you do it upside down but with the dark coloured one it is a film so you just print it straight on. The light coloured one does NOT work on dark. (we have tried

) The papers come with full instructions or as Pophammy said we are happy to give you a few sheets

Ooh replies make me happy

thanks for the offer pophammy - might take you up on it, am going shopping in a few days so will look out for some but will keep you in mind too

souffle - Ooh will look in Staples and see if they still have that offer on, I doubt it but hey you never know, they might have a different one on :P Will have a look in primark for the tops too. Thanks

(now I have a dilemma - I want to go to Primark, Staples and Pets at Home (I need a wheel for my cousins hamster lol)..they're all in different places...typical eh. Well PAH and staples are in the same place but that PAH is closed at the moment

)

It's a brilliant idea, Jane and Pophammy

Will and I are starting our breeding career (likely to only be one - maybe two - litters a year but it's still exciting!) in September - I now want to steal your idea and get t-shirts made for when we start

I'm not sure whether I just thought up the idea or got it from pophammy and didn't realise

You should do it Holly
