KMH1 congrats on 1,000 post.


julia & nicks mom love the new designs and your tye-dy shirts look great.

OMG!!! IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!

I spent three hours sewing and rubber banding my shirts the other night (6 of them) then I spent an hour last night putting the dye on - and then I waited until this morning -

I did not think for one second - when I took that thread out that I would have miceky tye dye shirts - but guess what!!!!

The pictures are front and back next to each other!! I AM SO EXCITED!!

Kate--those are fabulous! I love the vibrant colors--what kit did you use?

Also the filmstrip WDW one you just did is really cool.

Oh I love this one! I do not have enough days for all the shirts I will have to save this one for next time

No date

the brand name on the kit is rainbow rock - Micheals has them - I got them at hobby lobby for $10 a kit - I used all three sets they had - I bought an individual color and it is WAY more involved to mix it - so I definately reccomend the kit

here is a picture of them - I did not use the dreamy colors - I wanted them to be bright!

Kate - those tye-dyes came out great. I have not tried them yet, just the iron-ons. I love your new design, too, with all the characters.

Here a few pics i took when i did my Tie-dye..

Figured it might help a few..
Pic one.. I cutout the mickey head shape.. its 9 1/2 inches across the big circle.

Next i traced the shape on front and back of the t-shirt. (used a number 2 pencil.. just left a faint outline.

The did a basting stitch (with plain white thread..about 10 foot total) about a half inch outside the line.. (simple in and out stitch..like a drawstring on a leather pouch)
Hopefully you can see it alittle.

Then pulled gently on the two ends of the thread.. bunching up the head shape..

Then thie is what it looks like after its bunched up and rubber banded..
Head is the middle and ears are the little flaps on the side..
You can still see the pencil marks after you pull it all together.. i just made sure it looked straight and putt the rubberband right at the pencil mark.

Repeated on the other side.. Now if you look at the shirt here.. the neck is toward us and bottom of shirt is away from us..
I folded the bottom of the shirt's corners into the middle alittle (forgot to take a pic)

Then i just pulled the 2 heads apart and rolled from the neck down.. (like a swiss cake)
The rubber banded in a few spots. (you can add more if you want.. i like about this many)

Then you add the dye.. i added alittle too much to the left side.. bleed alittle..sigh
Next time i will add less then wait about an hour till it soaks in and then maybe add alittle more.
Some of the middle areas take alot to soak through.. so may have to try it a few times if you get to much white.
Also, going to try another method to fill in the white later.. will post if it works.

What it looked like after i rinced in sink... still wet and needing a wash..lol

Hope that may helped some people out on the basics of how to do it!

Going to use this for a door sign.

Brendita --

How are you going to go about making a door sign? I've heard of people making door signs for their Disney Cruise doors to make it easier to find their room, but I've never seen one.

Thanks!

Hoping one of the graphic people here might know how I can convert a TIFF file to a JPEG file. I took a bunch of pictures of my nephew this morning with my digital only to discover they are formatted .TIFF! Anyone have any suggestions? I would hope I can still get prints made but Google didn't turn up anything to help me. .JPEG I know how to work with!!

HELP!

Thanks so much for posting!!!! I'm soo not crafty and I didn't have a clue on how to Tie-dye, even after reading everyone's instructions. But now with the pics I understand. I'm off to A.C. Moore for more T-shirts. Thanks again!!!

 

[poohangel]

I will customize this design if there is any ariel fans out there.

Thank you for your help and the pms I received! It looks like my camera's photo software can handle the issue. I just hadn't reloaded it onto the new harddrive. Sorry for the panic but I am glad the DDA knew what I was talking about!!

Triplefigs --

Had some other ideas for you for Christmas shirts today.

1) Use the gingerbread house at the GF in the background. You can find a photo on the DCL DIS board at http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=9464280&highlight=Christmas#post9464280.

2) Do a DCL Christmas one. Here is a photo of the atrium http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=8986798&highlight=Christmas#post8986798. You could also PM "tinksdad" as he was on the Christmas cruise last year and took some fabulous shots, so he might have some shots of the Christmas tree alone, the gingerbread house, etc. Also have to look through my own photos from last year's Thanksgiving cruise.

I SO love the graphic!
