Want a Mac Dre T-shirt but can't get one? Keep reading on how to make your own Mac Dre t-shirts at home.
Steps
- Buy a plain white cotton t-shirt in at least size XXXL. Be sure to buy a good quality, heavy weight, 100% cotton T-shirt and not a flimsy 50% Poly blend shirt.
-
Create a design for your t-shirt that includes all or some of the following words:
- Hyphy
- Stunna Shades
- Thizz
- Go stupid go dumb
- Use any other words commonly used in Mac Dre songs. Make sure you look at the lyrics to get the correct spelling!
- Use your computer's graphic software to create a t-shirt design. If you can't, find a friend to help. If you know someone who is artistic you can ask them to help you create a design. A graphic designer at an area screen print/t-shirt shop may also be able to help you for an additional fee.
- Check with several print shops for rates as they can vary drastically.
- Contact a screen print shop about what requirements they need to scan your design. They may need it to be a certain size to enlarge properly.
- Place the order for your shirt. (It may be less expensive if you order your plain shirts from them and order some for your friends.)
Alternate Home Method
- Using your computer create a design for your t-shirt
- Purchase iron-on transfer paper from your local office supply store
- Print up your design on the iron-on transfer paper (or scan and print your hand drawn creation).
