DH has asked me if I can tie dye some t-shirts for the Wargaming club he runs, and then we put the group logo over the tie dyed shirts. The tie dye bit should be pretty straight forward, but getting the logo on there is causing some stumbling blocks.  I know you can get iron on transfers, which I assume you can print onto, but how good are they?  Will they stand up to wear and tear, or do they look tatty really quick? 

Can anyone recommend me a product, or another way of getting the logo on?

we have done it with iron ons and they look really tacky really quickly.
how about getting them printed ?? we have done this before and it’s not that expensive, but you do have to buy a minimum usually 5 .
we have loads of printers in Cardiff but you can do it over the net, you send them a email with the tragic and they print the t shirt. these in our experience wear much better

Ooh, thanks Jen, I hadn’t thought of printers!  We have one close by to us, I might call in during this next week and see what their prices are like.

There are also loads of places on ebay that do this, putting a photo or logo on a t-shirt.  I assume you can tie dye them afterwards?

Good luck

I actually had really good experiences with using the iron on ones, the ones you print off the printer? When my youngest child was born I made “big brother” “big sister” “baby” t shirts (each with a manga version of their then their familiar on it) and because I had left it to the last minute didn’t have time to get them printed at a proper place. These t shirts have seen a LOT of use over the years and they still look ok. The only thing I can think of I did was to use really good quality shirts (I happened to have some thick cotton ones) and I didn’t skimp on the transfer paper, I can’t remember what I used but it was something decent. Oh also they were only 1 colour each plus black, that was how I wanted it by design but it probably helped them not look scaggy.

The other option would be freezer paper stencilling?
