easy way to start a t-shirt business if
you're on a budget i will show you how
to make a t-shirt with these machines
and we're also going to go over some
really cool stuff you can do with them
let's not waste any time and get right
into it so first let's talk about the
things that you will need you will need
a qriket machine you will need a heat
press machine you will need iron on heat
transfer vinyls and you will also need
heat transfer tape i will leave an
amazon link for all these items under
the video alright guys so first let me
show you how to make a t-shirt with a
cricut machine
the first thing we're going to do is get
a design
we're going to use this air jordan
sneaker as an example so let's go ahead
and download this picture from google
images every cricut machine is going to
come with the cricut design space
software you can also download the
software online let's go ahead and open
up the software alright guys so the
first thing that we're going to do is
click on new project we're going to
click upload
click upload image
click browse and let's select our file
this one right here
now the next thing that we will have to
do is make a separate layer for each
color so this picture right here has
three colors so we'll have to make three
separate layers so click simple
click continue the first layer that
we're going to make is going to be the
black one so what we're going to do is
delete every color that's now black so
click the magic wand tool right here
let's delete the background and now
let's delete all the colors
we're going to leave the red delete the
white
delete all these reds right here you
will delete all these reds and then
click continue
click cut image
and click upload and your file will save
now we're going to do the second layer
again click upload image click browse
select our file now we're going to do
the red color
click simple click continue
click on the magic wand tool
always start by removing the background
first and now we will leave everything
that's not red so let's leave this white
right here all this right here and now
what you guys will see is these lines
right here we're gonna have to delete
these as well so click the eraser tool
and you're gonna go ahead and delete all
these lines so let's go ahead and do
that
now when you guys are done again you're
going to hit continue
click cut image and click upload and the
file is going to save you're going to do
the same thing for the white color and
when you make all three files you will
be ready to go ahead and make a project
so let's start with the first layer the
black one let's select it
click add to canvas and you guys see the
first layer is right here now we're
going to click upload
we're going to add the second layer
which is going to be the red layer
let's select it hit add to canvas
we're going to change the color to red
and we're going to carefully align
everything so it matches and now we're
going to add our white layer click
upload
select the white layer this right here
click add to canvas select the white
color
and align everything so it matches make
sure you line everything carefully just
like that so everything is done the next
step is to make the image click make it
we're going to start with the black
layer so let's select it
make sure you mirror the image connect
your qriket machine
hit continue and the machine will start
cutting the first layer all right guys
so we're going to take our black sheet
we're going to place a glossy side down
align it carefully on the cricut mat
and insert it into the machine
you're going to press the arrow button
and it's going to slide in
after this you will press the cut button
and the machine will start cutting the
image out depending on how complex the
image is it will usually take about a
minute or two to cut the image out now i
don't know if you guys can see it came
out a little bit blurry but you can see
how the machine cut out the silhouette
now we're gonna do the same thing with
the white sheet we're gonna go back on
the cricut app
select the white layer and press cut and
after this we will do the red sheet so
now we're done cutting all our vinyl
sheets now the next thing we're going to
do is weed the image make sure you do
this carefully you don't want to make
any mistakes here if you have a simple
image this is a quick process but if
your image has a lot of detail it will
take you a little bit longer always
double check to make sure that you
peeled everything correctly
alright guys now that all three layers
have been weeded it's time to heat press
them onto the t-shirt the first thing
that we're going to do is take our blank
t-shirt and we're going to pre-press it
to get all the moisture out this will
ensure that the vinyl will stick on the
shirt and the shirt will last a long
time
you should press at around 300 degrees
for no more than 10 seconds
after this we're going to take our first
layer which is the black layer and we're
going to carefully place it on the
t-shirt we're going to use heat transfer
tape to make sure the vinyl does not
move around when it's being pressed
after this we will take the t-shirt and
carefully put it on the heat press we're
going to press it for around 15 seconds
at 320 degrees after this we're going to
take the shirt out let it cool off for
around 30 seconds
and we will then slowly peel off the
vinyl
vinyl sheets peel perfect almost every
single time so you guys don't have to
worry about bad peels
alright guys so now we're going to do
the exact same thing with the white
layer we're carefully going to place it
on the shirt align it and press it we're
going to let it cool off for around 30
seconds and then peel it
alright so as you guys can see we now
have two layers we have the white layer
and the black layer and now we're going
to do the last layer which is the red
layer so again we're going to carefully
line everything we're going to tape it
with the heat transfer tape we're gonna
press it and then we're gonna peel it
and just like that the shirt is done
also if you want the shirt to last a
long time do a couple of very light
stretches where the image is and do a
very quick five second press
so besides making regular t-shirts
there's a bunch of cool stuff you can do
such as making 3d puff shirts let me
show you guys an example but this time
we're going to use a 3d vinyl we're
going to cut out the image we're going
to carefully place the image onto the
t-shirt we're going to tape it with heat
transfer tape we're going to press the
shirt for around 30 seconds and then
we're going to peel off the tape we will
then do the same thing with the second
layer which is the white layer we're
gonna press it and then we're gonna peel
it and if you guys look closely you can
see this is a 3d image so there's all
kinds of vinyls that you guys can buy
let's go over some of them
all right guys so when you're first
starting out i strongly suggest you buy
your heat transfer vinyls on amazon
amazon has a large selection of
different types of vinyl it's a little
bit more expensive than buying wholesale
when you're first starting out on
learning i think it's better to buy the
ones on amazon also i suggest that you
guys start with the official qriket
brand vinyl transfer sheets these are
the best quality so you know what to
compare to also when you guys buy these
make sure you're buying iron on heat
transfer vinyls and not just regular
vinyl regular vinyl will not stick to
t-shirts so always make sure you're
buying iron on heat transfer vinyls now
of course there are a ton of different
vinyls you have everything from metallic
vinyl to glitter vinyl to all types of
patterns to glow in the dark and 3m
vinyls so really with this your
creativity is limit now when you
actually start your t-shirt business you
will want to start buying your vinyl
sheets from alibaba.com wholesale so as
you guys can see these sheets cost under
a dollar each but you can get them for a
lot cheaper if you order an alibaba
wholesale so let's say it costs you two
dollars to get a blank shirt by the way
you guys can get blank shirts on
jiffysures.com and it costs you 50 cents
for vinyl sheet it'll cost you around
2.50 to make a t-shirt and what you guys
will do next is start selling these
t-shirts on etsy and ebay let me show
you guys a couple examples all right
guys so here's an example of a t-shirt
this seller has 2968 sales this shirt
right here is easily made with a qriket
machine he's selling it for 18 and it
cost him only a couple dollars to make
and as you guys see right here he's
getting sales he's getting positive
feedbacks let's take a look at some of
his other items he has this cheap shirt
right here again easily made with the
qriket machine this shirt right here
again easily made it just requires an
orange vinyl and a white vinyl sheet we
have all these shirts right here all of
these shirts are easily made with
quicker machines and they only cost a
few dollars to make you guys can easily
start a business selling shirts like
this let's take a look at another seller
this guy has 4 251 sales he's selling
these shirts for 28 a shirt like this is
again easily made with the cricut
machine as you guys can see right here
he's getting a bunch of sales and he's
getting positive feedbacks we have very
simple shirts like this and this one
right here so if you're a teenager and
you want to start an online business
selling t-shirts buying a qriket machine
is a great way to do that you can make
professional looking t-shirts with a
qriket machine it's inexpensive and the
quality is great also your t-shirt will
last a long time the only problem with
cooking machines is that you're limited
to designs and logos you cannot make any
picture images and if you have a very
detailed image it can take a long time
to weed out also i know the title of the
video says you can start this business
with 300 it's a little bit over 300
dollars but if your budget is 300 you
can simply get a used qriket machine
