Blank T Shirts

Many people look for blank t shirts so they can use fabric paint to create their own designs. In this article, the author goes searching for blank t shirts at her local arts and crafts store...

Blank t shirts are pretty hard to find unless you buy an entire pack of them. I love the witty sayings and attractive designs found on most of these kinds of shirts but sometimes I just want a blank t shirt. This can pose a shopping challenge. However, I discovered a few places to look.

I was pleasantly surprised to find blank t shirts at my local arts and crafts store. These tops were remarkably cheap but they were of relatively good quality. I wouldn’t trust that these tops would endure a decade of abuse but they would fair well under normal circumstances. The beauty of the whole thing was the blank t shirts were on sale.

The tops came in an array of colors ranging from bright neon to soft pastels. All of the blank t shirts were displayed in the very front of the store with a huge sign that boasted a meager price tag. The price was so low that even small children shook their heads and said that it couldn’t be right.

The good news was that it was right. The blank t shirts were being sold under a sign that said, “Two for a Dollar.” I kept staring at the sign in disbelief then I decided to ask the clerk if the sign was correct. She said that no one was buying them and they are just cutting their losses.

I couldn’t really understand why this apparel wouldn’t sell when these kinds of tops were so hard to find. Many people look for blank t shirts so they can use fabric paint to create their own designs. There are also a number of kits available that people can use for the designs. The scarcity of blank t shirts would make such projects nearly impossible.

After talking to the clerk, I decided to go shopping. I bought a countless number of blank t shirts in every color imaginable. I still have a pretty nice collection of them. The great thing about the apparel is that they make great gifts when I am in a pinch.

Personalized gifts are always appreciated. Many people love getting handcrafted items that take time and thought to create. I have used my collection of blank t shirts for birthdays and holidays on a number of occasions. I also use them whenever I want to involve my daughter in art projects. Nothing is cuter than a child’s foot prints on a shirt.
