On the print it yourself idea, I had a lot of fun doing that - it works
fine.  It's best to use a border all round - eg a circle or a round cornered
shape -  so you can cut out the transfer paper easily without big re-entrant
shapes.  You want to avoid large areas of white outside the design limits,
or those are still just visible once ironed on.  Just follow the
instructions in the transfer paper, and remember the picture is reversed
side for side, so print out any writing back-to-front or edit the design to
do that if your printer can't.
Done properly, they survive washing quite well.  Of course proper screen
printing or embroidery will outlast them.

I'm assuming colour or black inkjet output; don't know if it works with
laser printers, but the paper should tell you.
