There is a magazine called "Make!", they show you how to do some really kick-@$$ stuff.
They have a video podcast you can find on iTunes. A few weeks back the guy showed a few ways to put a design onto a shirt without breaking the bank. Some pretty cool stuff.
I wish I could give you a direct link, but they're blocked here at work.

Just go to iTunes and type in Make for the search. The podcast should pop up there.

you need a lot of spools of string to make your own shirt and a loom!

Your joke failed, duck.

Anyway, you can buy a silk screen kit from places like AC Moore and Michael's.

go to a craft store and buy sheets of iron-on-transfer paper. you can print the designs at home and just iron it on. Thats the cheapest way to do it that i know of.
