Use the Force!

May the force be with you, my son.

I found a white t-shirt on clearance at the wallymarts the other day and thought it would be fun to make an iron on design for my son. (I figured it was so cheap that if I ruined it, it wouldn't be a huge loss!)

I encouraged him to create his own artwork that I could use for the iron on design. He loves Star Wars so he created his own version of Luke using the force, and clones, and blasters, light sabers and I'm not sure what else. Very clever. 

So I scanned in his artwork, added a title with a free Star Wars font I found, and outlined it with a rounded rectangle in Illustrator. Then, follow the manufacturers directions for the iron on transfer paper. I used Avery #3271 and you have to make sure you mirror the image before printing. Also, please ignore the bad kerning, I had a little Jedi looking over my shoulder begging "is it done yet, is it done yet?" When you're making your little kiddo smile this big, who cares about kerning, right? What matters is that he loves it. I don't think the iron on stuff will last through many washings though. He wore it to school today and it's starting to crackle and wear off a bit. But then again, a white shirt doesn't stay very white on my boy. ;)  If you want to try to make one for your little Star Wars fan, you can find free fonts out there. I think this is the one I used Star Jedi Font. And may the force be with you. ;)
