somebody else suggested printing out the design, taking it with you to the store, and holding it up to the different shirts to see which one looked the best.

Very nice. It matters not that Mickey is a little off center, just makes it unique.

Here is my first try at making a shirt. I used spray on fabric paint.

Well make sure you buy yourself one when you go! They are a cute souvenier (sp) for about $4 - and have lots of styles - especially Christmas ones.

Not me

Glad to see I'm not the only one! The kids noticed one the other day while we were shopping on a minivan and LOVED it. I told them we'd get one for each of them when we go. Gotta have a Christmas one! It'll be a fun souvenir to get, and when they're not in use I'm going to put them by my computer on sticks.

DS2 points them out everywhere we go! I guess we'll be getting one while were down there too!

Hi all...

Quick note...at WDW now!! HOT HOT HOT...but so far light crowds. Enjoying wearing the different t-shirts. The most attention so far we have gotten is from the t-shirts that I incorporated our actual pictures onto. People wondered where we bought them. Off to the pool...

Yippee!!!!!!!!!! I just ordered my blank Tshirts from blankshirtstore.com and they say they should be here by Thursday! I ordered 18 - I don't think I have ever ironed as much in 8 years of marriage as I will be next week
Thanks again to all the wonderful designers who made this possible!!

See if they fit on the end of a pencil - then you'll be stylin'

Hi all...

Kristine

That was not neccessary!!

Glad you are having a great time!!!

I am a newly addicted antenna topper girl! I will be adding to my collection!!!!

Amy - I may have to rethink this game night thing!!


You are all welcome to come to my house for game night - how close are you to Cincinnati?

Seriously - where do we all live? Is there anywhere we could all reasonably get to for a girls weekend? Or we could all just go to Vegas!! Now those would be fun shirts to design!!!

You might get alittle more definition to the mickey head if you use a stensil for that part?

Basicly cut out the mickey head from a sheet of posterboard, put it over shirt and spray the head.. then do the rest of the shirt free hand?

Looks good though.

We did a variation on this using the spray paints for our kids shirts this last trip. We made a paste of flour and water (about the consistency of mustard). We put it into a squeeze bottle and outlined a medium sized Mickey cookie cutter on the t-shirts. We did several outlines on a shirt. Then we put the shirts in the sun to dry. A few hours later, the paste was hard, and we took the spray paint and painted the shirts (red and blue for the boys, hot pink and lime green for the girls). Once the paint was dry, we scraped the flour paste off the shirts and there was a really sharp Mickey outline in the paint. It looked so cool!!! The kids were thrilled with them. My sister and I got the idea from the July Family Fun magazine. It was so easy we even let our 6 year olds paint and there wasn't too much mess.

If I knew how to post pics, I would do it, but take my word for it, they look great and they last through the wash cycle.
