I love making custom items, from painting my own pottery to designing the boys’ birthday invitations or our family’s Christmas cards – so it came as no surprise that I really enjoyed using Fibers.com system to create custom t-shirts. When I got the chance to do a review, I had Brian draw a Lego brick and then used that to design the tees. I’m actually surprised he didn’t want to do four family t-shirts all with the Lego design. :)

The control panel for the site is very user-friendly. As you can see in the screen shot below, you’re able to add images, photos and other effects. You can pick which product you want to apply your design to, and there is a large variety to choose from.

I had a little bit of difficulty figuring out how to get my image to upload initially, but was really pleased to find out they had a live chat option. The person I chatted with helped me immediately and I was able to get the image to upload correctly. I think this is a great feature because then you’re not having to hunt for help; the customer service representative guides you to where you need to be.

We received our shirts in about 7 days and were really happy with the finished product:

The ink really pops off of the shirt and the printing is well-done. The boys both LOVED their shirts and have worn them several times since we got them!

What would you make YOUR shirt say? Well, I hope you have an idea because one of you is going to win a $30 gift certificate to Fibers.com! This contest is open to all U.S. residents. Entries will be accepted until the end of the day (midnight CST) Wednesday, April 6.

Well, since we’re big xbox360 fans (and gears of war), I’d have something done with representing the game.
