Nine Ways Bargain T-Shirts Save the Day

When you think about the humble t-shirt, you may think about an undershirt that keeps the sweat away from your nicer shirts. Oh, such limited thinking. You might be surprised to know the numerous ways that a simple t-shirt can become the hero of an event and truly save the day. Consider these nine ways that tee shirts from a discounter can help you stretch your dollar while making you look like a creative genius.

When you are able to pick up the shirts for pennies on the dollar, a handcrafted tie-dye shirt is not only going to thrill the creator, but it isn't going to break the bank, either. Not only is this project safe, but it is great for developing listening skills, creativity, and an enjoyment of an ancient art form that has an important place in American

Clubs. Clubs rarely have the numbers or the funds to qualify for bulk discounts on custom apparel. Yet, without matching shirts, what kind of club do you have? With discounted t-shirts, not only can you afford them, but when the club members get to design their own logo and create the final masterpieces themselves, the value of the shirts just went up. From tie-dye shirts to silk screening, embroidery, and hand-drawn art, customizing discounted tees is the way to
