I decided to go with creating custom t-shirts.
Since Mica will be eight in a few months, and Isaak just turned five I made them age appropriate shirts.
Here are my designs that I created in Illustrator. I made their ages in the g of each shirt.
Create your own (t-shirt) - I chose to create their organic t-shirt. It was a little more cost wise, but on sale. I love how soft they are!
Here's a few things about CarePress' organic t-shirts:
- 100% organic cotton jersey
- 4.3 oz. 100% ultra-fine combed organic ring-spun jersey
- Unisex design looks great on boys and girls
- Reinforced shoulder construction maintains shape through multiple washings
- Not intended for sleepwear
When I uploaded the designs I had a hard time getting a teal color. Instead I went with green and blue. The boys like both of those colors. Uploading images on CafePress was super easy. I had no problems at all. They take high resolution jpgs.
Isaak giving a high 5.
Mica wouldn't smile. He would however act like a crazy 8.
I was given a $40 gift code. I did have a difficult time getting the code to go through. It showed that I had a code, but only for a $0 amount.
They also didn't tax anyone living in Nebraska, which was nice!
The shirts came much faster than I anticipated. I was thinking it would take awhile considering they were a special order. Nope I had them in less than two weeks!
