Scissors? (Sorry, that just popped out.) Carefully, very very carefully, warm them with your iron. Not much heat and better use a press cloth. It may be that when the letters are warm that they will peel off. If that works, sometimes just plain old rubbing alcohol will take the gummy off. Test the alcohol rub somewhere on the shirt that is inconspicuous such as the inside of the hem at the side seam to be sure the dye of the shirt is not going to come off too. Polly

ROFLOL - You are trying to remove it and I'm trying to find someone to put it on!!!
Waaaaaay back in the early 80s there were these places you could go to get sayings or pictures or whatever put onto t-shirts - remember? Nowadays you can't find a one of them. All I want is someone to put two words onto a couple of t-shirts or polo shirts for me. One place I found has a minimum
10 shirts and wants at a minimum $300. Yikes!
You know anyone with an embroidery machine?

Have you looked at cafepress.com? Not sure how expensive or how much work it is, but you can design your own t-shirts, caps, etc. there. NAYY. (We had t-shirts made at a cart in a mall in Los Angeles last year, but I guess that doesn't help you!).

Hmmmmmmmm good thinking 99! Now.....to the address book via the shoe phone!
I'll look them up thanks Lynn. Hmmmm wonder if that cart might be available in Hawaii in September? Hmmmm......
Why don't you use the transfer method. Buy some special transfer sheets. Design your letters then print them on your sheet. You then iron them on your shirt. Make sure it is a cotton one to stand the iron heat. Instructions come with the transfer sheets.

How about some iron-on applique letters? There are a bunch at jo-ann.com: . You could probably get them locally
