u know how u cosplayed as jude lizowski? how did u get his shirt decal on ur shirt? i really wanna be him for halloween but i need to know how to put his shirt decal onto a shirt
Hey, dude!
I actually bought the shirt at Fan Expo Vancouver last April, BUT I do know how to press decals onto shirts and it’s actually quite easy!
First, you’re going to want to buy some screen printing paper/t-shirt paper, (it may also be called heat transfer paper), you can buy it at Wal-Mart, and it’s really fairly cheap! (other places you could buy it is at Staples or Future Shop). The prices range from $5 - $20, depending on what brand you get.
It’s as easy as printing the design out on the screen print paper! However, make sure you reverse the design in a program before printing it, as if you don’t, you’ll get a completely backwards design in the end once it’s transferred!
After it’s printed, you’re going to want to cut around your design (leaving about four millimetres of the white of the paper), and find yourself a flat surface. Lay your shirt down (I put a towel inside the shirt to make it easier on myself), lay the decal down in the spot you want it, and with an iron on medium-high heat, press on the back of the decal with force (I normally do little circles from edge to edge and then work my way into the middle of the decal).
This normally (for me and my old crappy iron) takes about ten minutes, depending on how big the design is. Make sure steam is turned off. Also be sure to let it cool completely before pulling the paper off!
I’m not that great at explaining things, so I’ve also included some videos below for you to watch! Hope it all works out for Halloween!
Cheers, dude!Make the good times last!
