Did you ever get a care package in college? I remember the time my mom sent me the best. cookies. ever. I'm putting together a care package for my cousin who is a freshman at UNLV. She's still living at home, and I thought she especially needs a care package so she doesn't feel like she's missing out on the dorm experience. She's very health conscious so I packed her favorite dried mango and toasted seaweed from Trader Joes, some makeup, and I made her this shirt. Not the most academic of care packages. The design is inspired by the tattoo she wants, an American Traditional heart and banner that reads "Rudig girl" - Rudig being our mothers' maiden name, and the Rudig sisters (our aunts) being three strong, capable chicks.
If you don't know much about heat transfers, you can do it a couple different ways. You can buy heat transfer vinyl in different colors, and even layer them if you want... or you can use printable heat transfer paper that allows you to print the design with an ordinary inkjet printer. The printable option is nice for designs with more than one color if you don't want to deal with separating your design by color and cutting/applying multiple layers. Printable heat transfer is also a good option for designs with shading, like the heart and bird in my design.
