Make Your Own Walking Obama Yard Sign

How to make a walking Obama Yard Sign for $ a few bucks !
I know lot of people who can’t get Obama Yard Signs

The Obama campaign in town is pouring all their money into volunteer efforts and is doing a great job but does not have yard signs.

In response I have taken to making my own T-Shirts using an Ink Jet Printer and an iron.

Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Get some “ALL COTTON” t-shirts. I’ve gotten most of mine from drug stores which are selling irregulars for 4 or 5 for $10. All cotton white t-shirts from Hanes work too.

2. I like light colors like light gray or sand. Bright Yellow looks good too. Don’t use dark colors.

3. Next buy AVERY Ink Jet T-Shirt Transfer Iron On sheets (Office Depot).

4. Now you need to create the images you want in a MS WORD document to transfer to the T-Shirt. The Obama site has images you can use. I’ve made several designs with 2, 4 or 5 logos per page. If you are not good with design email me at
DCNF3@comcast.net and I’ll send you my designs.

5. IMPORTANT!!! : When you have your design ready to print make sure you use your inkjet printer setting for T-shirt Transfer. Using this setting will flip the image to a mirror image which is needed to transfer correctly. Print a test on plain paper first to make sure it prints correctly.

6. Once printed use scissors to separate multiple images on the same sheet.

7. Then just follow the instructions supplied by Avery and spend about a minute ironing on the image.

8. Now you can produce as many shirts as you want at about $2.50 a shot.

Go to Obama events and offer to give them away free but also add if you donate $5 for 1 shirt that I will make 2 more to hand out elsewhere. This donate-and-double scheme seems to appeal to most and every time I hand out 10 shirts I seem to come home with enough money to make 20 more.

When I hand them out I ask them to make sure they wear them out in public to the grocery store or the mall. These hand-made shirts attract attention and I’ve met many nice people while wearing mine.
