Thanks for the link, it made me do a search for dark fabric ... I am wondering if on dark fabric it comes out ok though? ... some of the ones I have seen have been a full picture which looks like a big square white with pic on a dark tshirt but ideally I want just lettering I really don't know if I can do this or not I have 16 days to decide wether I am capable of finding 2 x black tshirts one for a 2 year old and one for a 6 year old then dorting the transfers out to say the lettering.

Failing that its £24 for me to order the 2 tshirts in the correct size for the kids.

What are my chances?

Hi Rusty

You can buy transfer paper for dark t-shirts, an example here: http://www.ink-uk.com/index.php/cPath/109_2118

Use any computer program that allows you to reverse your text (I used Word, created a text box and flipped it)

Sheets are A4, so if you wanted to, you could put several sets of words on one sheet (my designs were small, so I fitted 6 on each sheet, then cut them out and used)

Really easy to do, my friends loved them and they have survived numerous washes - although they did eventually discolour.

Morning all

I am dead chuffed with myself, I have just made my own cool wall (top gear for those who are wondering what I am talking about.) Just waiting on a personalised poster to arrive then I can put it all together in a hamper. Just hope he likes it now

Well done Rusty,

I have just made a flannel birthday cake thing to go in my grans hamper. Just got to work out how to remove a sticky lable from it. I managed to find any old card box to use as the hamper box and I have coverd it.

No

I will try and get a picture later on, I have had to hide it as OH woke up and came downstairs :mad:

It looks similar to this .... but obviousley not as big, or as good :rotfl:

I have no idea!! :rotfl:
OH is out of work so he was in bed still as he is unwell, my son is at school and my daughter was sitting eating her breakfast so I had tried to do bits and bobs then just printed it all out this morning

Well I am impressed. I think if your other hamper for OH is from someone else but it will be obvious you are putting it together for him then maybe you could put something in from them, like a note to say how much he means to them. I think because you have done such a good job of summing him up in your hampers it might make the choice of topics a little narrow. Would it make him sad if you focused on the new job thing? Like get him new ties, a set of pens, a desk pic of the kids, some shoe polish...

Ooh, what about actually giving him the money but as a surprise. So maybe making him a chocolate bouquet but make some paper flowers with pound coins as the centres to go imbetween... Or a pot of gold type idea... or a money tree
