1. Spending Time with Kids After Kobe Bryant Incident
After the tragic incident involving Kobe Bryant, I realized the importance of spending quality time with my kids. In the past few days, I made a conscious effort to prioritize my time with them. This meant reducing my workload and taking a step back from work-related activities. It was a difficult decision, but a necessary one to show my children that they are my top priority.
2. Shipping Information for Merchandise
If you have been eagerly waiting for your Kids Custom Designs merchandise, here's some important information regarding shipping. Please note that there will be a temporary pause in shipping between February 3rd and February 7th. However, you can still place orders during this period, and shipping will resume on February 8th. So feel free to browse our website and make a purchase, knowing that your order will be processed and shipped promptly from February 8th onwards.
3. Available Colors and Designs
We offer a variety of colors and designs for our vinyl shirts at Kids Custom Designs. Whether you're looking for the vibrant olive green, maroon, team purple, or the newly added sunset color, we've got you covered. Our designs range from charity pink to unicorn-themed shirts, perfect for any occasion. Additionally, we now ship to the UK, Australia, and Canada, accommodating our international customers.
4. Vinyl Shirt Making Process
The process of creating vinyl shirts at Kids Custom Designs involves careful attention to detail. First, the designs are cut using specialized cutting machines and high-quality glitter heat transfer vinyl. It is essential to mirror the designs before cutting them to ensure they transfer correctly onto the shirts. The scraps of vinyl are also saved for future projects, minimizing waste.
5. Designing Unicorn Shirts
Unicorn shirts are a popular choice among our customers, especially for kids who love these mythical creatures. When making unicorn shirts, it is crucial to layer the glitter vinyl carefully to create a stunning and durable design. However, I learned the hard way that glitter cannot be applied on top of glitter, as it may peel off during washing. To prevent this, each layer of the design is carefully cut to fit perfectly and give the appearance of layered glitter.
6. Organizing Designs in Cricut Design Space
To streamline the shirt-making process, I organize all my designs in Cricut Design Space. By grouping similar elements together, such as hearts, eyelashes, ears, and the horn for unicorn shirts, I can easily cut them and save time. Additionally, I adjust the letter spacing and ensure each name or text fits perfectly on the shirt, using the appropriate font and size.
7. Cutting and Preparing Vinyl Pieces
Once the designs are organized in Cricut Design Space, I begin cutting the vinyl pieces. Each piece is carefully adjusted to fit within the available space and prevent waste. The glitter heat transfer vinyl is cut precisely, allowing for easy peeling and application onto the shirts. This step requires attention to detail to ensure the designs are accurate and aligned correctly.
8. Applying Vinyl to Shirts
After cutting and preparing the vinyl pieces, it's time to apply them to the shirts. Each shirt is carefully placed on the heat press, and the vinyl design is positioned accordingly. It is crucial to avoid overlapping the glitter vinyl as it may cause the design to peel off. By aligning the design with the crease in the shirt or using other markers, I ensure a precise and clean application.
9. Finalizing the Shirts
Once the vinyl has been heat-pressed onto the shirts, the final step is to check for any imperfections and make any necessary adjustments. This includes ensuring the vinyl has adhered properly, removing any leftover pieces, and checking the overall quality of the design. After a final inspection, the shirts are ready to be shipped to our valued customers.
10. Final Thoughts
Creating and shipping vinyl shirts at Kids Custom Designs is a labor of love. It involves spending quality time with my kids, prioritizing their needs, and achieving a balance between work and family life. The process of making vinyl shirts requires meticulous attention to detail, precise cutting, and careful application. Seeing the finished products bring joy to both me and our customers, knowing that each shirt was made with passion and dedication.
