DIY Custom Baseball Jerseys {How to Add DTF to Button Up Baseball Jersey}

Custom baseball jerseys are such a fun way to personalize a team uniform, but adding DTF transfers to a button-up jersey can be a little intimidating—especially when your design needs to go right across the front buttons!

I recently made these custom Southridge baseball jerseys using DTF transfers, and after figuring out the best way to line everything up and press around the buttons, I realized it was much easier than it looks.

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through exactly how I added DTF transfers to button-up baseball jerseys, including how I positioned the front logo, worked around the buttons, and added names and numbers to the back. If you’ve been nervous about trying DTF on a baseball jersey, this is a project you can absolutely do! Plus I will be holding your hand, guiding you along the whole way!

How to Make Money with xTool Apparel Printer {Price Comparisons with DTF and Vinyl}

If you are new to DTF printers, check out my beginner’s guide here.

For the past 5 years, I have been making and selling things as a business, you can see all the details about my business here. I mostly make shirts, but I have made other things too. The shirts are definitely the money maker in my business. I have been able to make a decent profit in these past few years. It has been really nice side hustle for my family and me.

Things have gotten even better for my business now that I have the xTool Apparel Printer. Why is it better, you ask? It’s so much better because the cost to make shirts is WAY CHEAPER and EASIER with the apparel printer! The cost to print out the DTF film with the apparel printer is much cheaper than ordering it from a company and much easier than cutting it out of vinyl. With the costs being lower, that means the profits are more! I can still charge the same price per shirt and with the new lower costs to me, I make a bigger profit.  It is a win/win situation!

Colorful Layered Wooden Farm Sign- How to Cut on xTool S1 and Print DTF on xTool Apparel Printer

If you are new to xTool and DTF printing, check out my beginner’s guide here. If you are new to laser cutters, check out this post all about the xTool S1.

A few years ago I made some wooden farm signs for my husband, for his office. They were a big hit and he has had them on his wall ever since. Recently  his job changed a little bit and he now has an additional office. It was looking a little bare, so I decided that I needed to make him some things for it. I love those farm signs so much that I wanted to make another one, for his new office. This time around, I really wanted the sign to pop and have some color in it. So I used my xTool apparel printer, found a pretty image of the farm and added that to the wooden layered sign. I love how the color on the wood pops and really makes the sign look amazing!
