A little side story first, see I'm 36 yrs old I live with my parents not by choice but because of them. My mother. Almost 10 yrs ago was hospital ridden for over two yrs on and off she had a major hernia operation that turned to an infection which attacked her muscles in her legs. During this spout my father started getting severe arthritis in his hip and has problems. However he fights through the pain but needs me to get in and out of chairs, the both can walk to a point but both are medically certified handicaps. I get them food and drinks, and whatever they need so they don't have to walk as much or get up and down. however my dad can still drive. This vinyl decal. Signs, custom vinyls items, T-shirt etc is for me to get money to help with bills and get me some income in. To the present today Thursday my father and grandmother were going to the DMV and got into an auto accident, both seem to be fine but the van is not. It was t-boned and will be considered scrap it still drives but the side doors are smashed in the rocker panels are gone and you can't even open the passenger front door.. I'm greatful they both are ok, but we know that tomorrow is another day.

I draw a lot on the iPad that's how my little rocker guy was drawn. Sketchpad is what I use on it.

I don't like weeding white, it's the worst and black isn't anymore fun. However the results are breath taking. I wanted to et out of vinyl, however making caps changed that think I. Going to keep doing it.

Joker, I did use a hat press. I heard of people using a standard press, but have no waynofbunderstandin how they did it. Xpaperman, give your buddy a call on that hat press if it works if you find the right place for hats they are cheap. Even micheals crafts isn't bad however they are polyester but vinyl sticks to it.

I have been actually trying to get these done for the last 4 night but ran into trouble with getting the depth right. Well I finally got it. The vinyl I used was Stahls econo red and the white is actually their glow vinyl which looks great in the dark. I know there not 100% straight but they we trials and I forgot my heat tape the image slid when I put the press down. As always feedback positive or negative is welcome.

Your welcome. I originally bought this to do skulls and reapers. However I ran out of white HT vinyl and remembered I had this and let me say, I'm not disappointed in that decision at all. Got an idea on this hat design, I was talking about adding barbed wire maybe add some red like blood splatter or blood running down the cap give it that its seen the field?

Its great stuff. Here's a few things to note if your buying Stahl's. Its got a sticky carrier, its thin so set your blade at the right pressure and speed ( I used a Silhouette Cameo to cut it), and found out its easier to weed from the inside out if its a circle. And follow the instructions they send you or located on their site..

Those Averys are good for one shot and if you don't wash them right they get ruined so I would suggest something like Dakota said JPSS I use laser for most of my transfers but looking into using my Epson since I'm getting a wide format workforce. I will probably use the 11X17 give you more coverage on the shirt.

Dakota now that's a car I would drive everywhere. I was thinking of getting the cutter to cut some barbed wire but I don't have brown heat transfer vinyl the other thing was thinking of adding numbers. Make it look real authentic like there really is a company called that.

I'm not even from Michigan and I get that lole

Im currently on the zombie kick I have other ideas just working on this one now. Thank You ang

I'm hoping to still go to the one in Illinois but don't know with the one parent that was in the accident and my mother might be going in to get an open wound she has been living with fixed for the last 7 yrs.

I use an iPad 2 use sketch pro to draw and can send it to my computer. I use oracls app for vinyl and some tshirt apps along with famed and invoices I learning on that along with point of sales.

Happens to me a lot more than I'd like to admit. I get into the car decal craze, than I get an order for a t- shirt. The mind is this going on a car and forget to flip.

Great post OWjones appreciate the work you put into it. I will be checking the links more on a c ompute.

Thank you to all of you, really appreciate the encouragement. As for me being their for them, it is hard specially watching to strong individuals like them, go to needing help. They were there for me growing up and here I am for them. He sad part about this is I have an older brother who doesn't really try and help. So everything comes down to me taking are of parents and doing things for grandma. Kingrupert we need all the prayers we can get, The Lord protected them through the accident.

I was to,d to use the oracle tape from another user. I have oil slick vinyl that won't come off. I have used other brands and only my standard vinyl works.

OWjones for the win. It's true though lots of great sites and sometimes you have to cough up the cash or great vectors.

Petro is that display for your decals what I gave you an idea for.

I got the idea from some of the work here, its not 100% original but I added something to it. I also have this in dig trans concert t paper just haven't gotten to pressing it. However this is a decal. As usual comments are welcomed.

If I didn't have alot of extras I purchased I would try them myself but I bought a lot when I ordered the MH maybe in 10 yrs I will get too lol. Ang I like the designs very nice.

I agree about how zombies being so popular it seems like it won't die soon, like OWjones said atleast through this year. I think I'm hoping it doesn't got to get selling more decals. I believe video games was the start of zombie fascination with resident evil, left 4 dead, zombies in certain call of duties, and then dead island and so forth. I really don't see this fading away. However my problem is I don't know what to price it at. It's a 5.5" x 5.5" decal. I was thinking $8.00 to $10.00?

I know proworldin.com does them oh there's lots of them just google them.

What OWjones is saying goes for every cutter even the smaller hobby ones. I didn't do this my first time with my MH series and it go all off track.

Dakota true, I agree. Theres so many ways to accomplish this task.
