Classroom Tees is a woman owned design business. Established in 1992. Our goal is to bring a hands-on art experience to the classroom. We partner with individual teachers to create a unique design for each class using student drawings. One of our favorite things about classroom tees is that EVERYTHING is customizable.

Getting Started
We offer on-site printing for schools within an hour of Tulsa, Ok. or Print and Ship which is an option for anyone outside of our area. We have shipped to more than 22 different states and love working with teachers all over the country. Below is the process for on-site printing and above we have a page dedicated to Print & Ship. We require a 60 shirt minimum for on-site printing.
Connect
Please contact us via email to talk about scheduling your preferred print/ship date. We do have a minimum order of 15 shirts per class which will include a complementary teacher shirt. Our turn around time from receiving all your forms, student drawings and payment is 2 weeks so keep that in mind for a working time line. We will send you our forms via email.
Communicate
Send our shirt order form home to parents and guardians so they may order the correct sizes and shirts. Please set a clear deadline for money and forms to be returned to school. This is a one time offer to order shirts for students and parents we will no longer be able to accept late orders.

Student drawings
Please use our drawing template we will have sent via email. Have students draw in pencil first then trace with a fine tip sharpie (you may have to do the second step for younger kiddos). It is important to have a thick enough line drawing for us to use in the final design. Much more details under the For best results page. The drawings will need to be scanned in black and white and sent via email along with the forms.
Approval
Please make sure your Shirt Order Form and Simple Design Form are completely filled out if they are not there may be a hold up on the processing of your order. We ask for your cell number and email strictly for approval purposes. We will send you a proof of your class shirt design from classroomteesproofs@yahoo.com. You will need to sign off on the design and we will take it from there.
Print Day
If you are local we will be able to come in and print with your students. We will bring in our portable screen printing equipment. We will need access to a couple outlets and 2 tables. Print days are our favorite and we look forward to teaching a little about screen printing and experiencing making art in a new way. We love print days!
Student Drawing Examples
Below are examples of great student drawings
What makes them so great?
The drawings are not touching the edges of the paper or the lines to separate them. They have clearly written names. There are no pencil marks. No coloring and no extra drawings in the squares. These are perfect for our use!
Below are bad examples
What is wrong with these drawings?
Any drawing that has color would be made one color with ink. We only print in one color so imagine that anything that has extra color will be made solid with the ink color of your choice. There are several drawings with added items or scenes. When we use our designing program it makes it very hard to separate the drawings themselves from anything that overlaps the drawing. We also remove any added pieces from backgrounds so the final shirt design is not crowed with excess. A few of these drawings have names crammed on the drawings which cannot be separated from the portraits. The bottom middle drawing is perfect but the name is too squished at the top to read, we know you all know their signatures but it can be super hard for us to decipher them. Lastly the bottom right photo does not have a name or signature. Thank you for your help in making these shirts turn out the best they can be!
