Printing on high vis vests

**louised** · 10-09-2008, 11:03 AM

I've recently purchased hi-vis vests for my mindees to wear when were are out and about and was wondering how I could customise them with some kind of low cost or diy transfers or printing so that I can advertise my business on them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi I have the hi vis vests and I have printed my logo on them, I brought the transfere paper in the end which cost me£6.99 from Ryman but you can get the transfere stuff in smiths

Hi i have hi-vis vests but i dont make the children wear them is it now a requirement that the children when and about they must wear a hi-vis vest or simulair???

**chez1373** · 10-09-2008, 04:52 PM

Sorry forget to say your vests brilliant xxx

**emmadines** · 10-09-2008, 05:00 PM

thankyou, and no I dont think its now a requirement, I just found it easier to see them all as we all know how busy school drop offs and pick ups are.

plus it has my contact details on so in the case of a child getting lost they have my contact details on them. they know they are not to take them off unless we are at the schjool and they are going into the class (I wont leave them there they will go missing) and or when we get home!

Thanks so much i have them they have been in the draw for months but never had them out, Ive just started school pick ups so i think ill get them out and stick my details on them lol

I have only 1 to pick up an my 2yr old son who will be with me do u think it would be strange if i had them both wear them as there is only two of them??

funny enough I have both my and the minded kids in them (makes the minded children more likely to wear them without a sqwabble!)

oooh lovely!

My cousin has some and she just got a waterproof perm marker pen and a plastic stencil and just did it that way, the text is nice n big enough to read without getting too close

**emmadines** · 12-09-2008, 10:19 AM

all you need is a printer, pair of scissors ad an iron oh and the transfer paper!

if i used a stencil id be too worried of making a mistake. and would have to throw that vest away as it would bug me way tooooooo much

Maybe a second line of business??????????

**FizzysFriends** · 05-11-2008, 06:30 PM

These are brilliant, im going to try it myself (and them send them to you to do when I make a mess of it, lol)

**maple** · 05-11-2008, 08:03 PM

After seeing Emma's from another post I did mine and as Emma says they are easy to do. It did take me a little bit of time to get the transfer to stick onto the vest. Not sure if I had the iron on hot enough but I was worried I would melt the vest.

**FizzysFriends** · 05-11-2008, 08:05 PM

Where did you get the transfer paper from?

Im going to Ikea at the weekend to get the vests

**mum2two** · 05-11-2008, 08:12 PM

I did wonder if you could use the transfer paper on the jackets. I made t-shirts up in the summer, and so have just brought 6 off the site we were told about the other day for £1.99 each.

Yours look great Emma, so I'm just going to print them like my t-shirts!
