Stumped on a project, application or product? Send me a note with your crafty crisis. I'll do my best to come to the rescue! AND - if you are a clever crafter and can offer a suggestion, please post a comment :-) Saturday, September 04, 2004T-shirts
I have ideas for cute/girly/funny t-shirts and want to know if you have any tips for getting started - i.e., good sources for cheap screenprinting & good deals on good quality/cute t-shirts. Please inform...
Thanks much, Sister in craftiness Chantal Hey Chantal! There are several options. If you are just starting out and are low on funds, I would get a Cafe Press web site up and running. That way you can test out your designs and change them as often as you like. Yah, they take a big cut but at least you'll get a feel if there is a market for your items. If you have a little bit of money to invest and want to tangibly try out your shirts, you can use these new cotton or silk Ink Jet sheets: 
They come 10 to a pack for about $10. I used Aleene's OK To Wash It Glue and this is what I did: 
(instructions) As far as screen printing - this will take some research. I would suggest going with someone local to save on shipping costs. The price will vary depending on quality/quantity of shirt and how many colors you use. You can also check with a local art store for a screen printing kit, but that will be costly. If anyone reading this has any ideas, please comment! Good luck! - CC ********** http://www.CraftyChica.com

In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
