We are going to a tye dye party at a friends house tonight and wanted to make mickey shirts for the family. My shirt is here, all the others are at my friends house. Is stiching the only way to do this? Any other hints? I am just not sure I can get the shirts done in time. (and am a bit nervous abou it.) I think my friend has soaked the shirts ahead of time to take the die. I assume they should be dry when you sew them.

The only other way I would know how to do something similar is to use a stencil and then spray on the paint (instead of traditional tie dye dunking).

DisneyPhD · 06-03-2006, 07:54 AM

Well we did it. I don't know how they turned out yet. We used a plate from WDW (you know the kind the kids meals come in that is a mickey shape) and then we also used a base from a Mcdonalds toy that is mickey shaped for a smaller one on sleves and some places for the girls. I don't know if that will turn out. It was a bit of sewing for 4 shirts and 2 skirts for the girls, but we will see how it ends up. Thanks for the help. My friend did have the spray die too (she had it all really.) It was a fun night.

I will let you guys know how they turned out. Heck if they are really good I will even post a picture!

DisneyPhD · 06-04-2006, 09:27 AM

They not only turned out good, they turned out GREAT! We are all wearing them today so I will take a picture and try to post it. Some are "better" then others, I think it was a learning process and we learned. I must say both DH and I were intimidated with the whole "sew" thing, but we all did it together (my 14 year old niece too.) and it was rather easy. Thanks so much for the clear directions and pictures. I don't think we would of even attempted it with out them. It was really a lot easier then we thought it would be. We love

our new shirts. Thanks so much!

Wow, those are awesome! I love the bright colors.

Plantlady · 06-29-2006, 09:03 AM

Thanks from me too! My boys and I dyed our shirts today. We now have to patiently wait to see how they turned out!

We did the family fun solar shirts, at the same time. Using tie dye as well. The kids had fun making all of the shirts.

My 9 year old, asked "where did you learn how to do this". I told him, the disboards! He replied "You sure do like those disboards". True. very true.

ckmommy · 06-29-2006, 03:53 PM

Ok, so how do you dye the so you have the Mickey one color and the rest of the shirt other colors??

After you have rubberbanded it all off, dye the Mickey head portion with the color you want. Then put a plastic baggie (ziploc or sandwich bag) over the Mickey head portion and rubber band that off. Now you can tie dye the rest of the shirt and it shouldn't change the color of the Mickey head.
