I too am going to try for our upcoming trip!! thanks so much for sharing!
I love this shirt, could I copy this idea??I tried to pm you but I don't have enough posts, yet! I was wondering what type of die you used and where you got it? Thanks so much in advance!

Love those shirts. I can never get our tie dye to set and stay dark...they always fade really bad.
do you have a web site?
I second that. I tried, but it was an epic fail. I tie dyed my skin better than the shirt!
I made a set for our last trip and we received lots of compliments. The kit I used was by JACQUARD and it came with everything you need: soda ash, dye, bottles, gloves, rubberbands and a SUPER instructional DVD. The kit did about 5 t-shirts. I bought it online at Dick Blick, but they also sell it at Michaels (it was out-of-stock at mine). I don't know if it was mentioned on this Thread, but I basted my Mickey Head with dental floss. It was super strong, and then it pulled out very easily. Have fun!
I also made us some of the "bleach spray" Mickey shirts. I made my Mickey Head stencil using a page from one of those poly report cover pages. That way the bleach solution didn't soak through and I could re-use my stencil multiple times. They turned out so cute, and they were fast and easy. I diluted my bleach first and made sure to put a layer of cardboard inside the t-shirt, so it didn't bleach through to the back. I also wrote "DISNEY 2009" by placing some stickey foam letters/numbers down before misting. I sprayed them outside and let them sit in the sun for about 5 minutes...that was all it took before they were ready. I added some vinegar to the wash cycle. Someone told me that it neutralizes the bleach and stops the fading and odor. I don't know if it was necessary, but I did it anyway.
