Ok, so I made 4 of the gorgeous tees that NKJZMOM made for her family (the swirly Mickey head with flour and water and then sprayed with fabric spray paint). My problem is I didn't realize that the flour and water would be so hard to get off:
Question-do you think if I washed one of the tees the flour mixture would come off OR at least soften? Thanks for any and all help, I really appreciate it!!!

I just used a spoon and scraped mine off. Make sure you have a small bowl nearby to put all that mix into once scrapped off.

A spoon!! I never even thought of that, LOL!! Sheesh, where's my head at! Now that's a great idea if I can't wash it! But how about my extemely lazy idea of washing it, does anyone know if it will come off or make it softer? Thanks!

Hi...someone asked me for the directions to make the shirts in my sig so here they are: (sorry if they've been posted on this thread already)

I think this was from the Family Fun magazine.

Supplies:
Squirt bottle (I used an almost empty glue bottle and just cleaned it out)
Flour
Water
Spray fabric paint

Mix the flour and water until it is the consistency of mustard and pour into bottle. Squeeze onto the shirt in whatever pattern you desire. Lay the shirt in the sun to dry. After the mixture has hardened completely spray with fabric paint then lay the shirt in the sun for paint to dry. When the paint has completely dried slowly peel away the flour/water mixture to reveal the pattern below.

I did this on a hot day at the end of September and by the evening we had all 7 shirts ready to go. I even added spray glitter for fabric after we peeled the flour mixture off. We got lots of comments from CMs and guests alike. The CM on the boat to and from Tom Sawyer Island loved them...he said, "OOOOHHHH I love those!!! I read about them in Family Fun and have been dying to make one!!!" I hope he did because they're so easy and fun and you just can't mess them up!

The magazine had a sunburst pattern I believe. We just wanted to make it more Disney-ish and decided to use Mickey's head. I just swirled the mixture around and around with some being straight and others being at angles. Little did I realize that DisneyQuest has that same pattern on the "Q" and the folders that you get your Photopass pictures in also have Mickey's head in that same swirl pattern. Pretty neat!!!


PS-She has a REALLY great photo of the shirts in her signature but I don't know how to post it here, LOL. Do a search for her name and then click on one of her posts and you will see it.
