Good Ol Gal - How long did it take the paste to dry?

So we decided to do one stitch tie dye shirt. I think it turned out pretty good, although I don't think non-Disney nuts would know what it is. But to me and most of you can probably figure out it is stitch.

Paul and Marti,

I have 3 very, very, very excited kids right now reading their post cards! Rees' came today. He can't figure out how Mickey Mouse knew he swallowed a penny! Thanks so much. The kids really believe that the characters know they are coming to see them in December!

You two are so wonderful to have done this for me!

 

[Good Ol Gal]

Good Ol Gal - How long did it take the paste to dry?

Well, let's start by saying that I have NO SUN!!! NONE, Zip, Nada!!

so, I coulnd't let it dry in the sun.

I actually let it sit overnight. I did it last night before bed, and then painted it this morning.

I don't think 12 hours is really necessary to wait

 

[disneyeveryyear]

Wow guys, you have been really busy.

Sorry so many of you have been feeling lousy.

Denise, sorry I missed you last night. Laid down in bed to watch the game and fell asleep in the 7th inning. Otherwise, I should have been up finishing up my t-shirts.

I love the "swirl" Mickey. Don't really think I am going to do another complete set of shirts for everyone, but maybe a new sweatshirt for me wouldn't be out of order. I need something in case the evenings in November get cool (don't I?).

My 3 princes, love your costumes. Got a big kick out of the picture with Pooh. I loved the fact that Pegasus was wearing "shades". Too funny! I also envy your talent with the other costumes you have designed and made. When we went to MNSSHP a couple of years ago, DH and I just borrowed scrubs from the hospital. It was an extremely warm night, and they were just the right weight.

Denise, glad everything worked out with your package. I noticed a reference from Kate that it wasn't your agent's fault. No matter whose fault, they should have been much more kind and proactive when dealing with it.

Kate, on your 4 parks theme, do they look like picture frames around the edges, or stitching? I thought in the picture of your lime green shirt, it kind of looked like stitching. That was really cool.

Well, sorry so long, just wanted to check in on my lunch hour.

 

[my3princes]

my3princes,
you are very crafty. We are hoping to go to MNSSP next year while we are there. my Red head DD will be Ariel no need for the wig LOL. Trying to think of costumes for DH, Myself and possibly my mom

Your dh could go as King Triton and you or your Mom could go as Ursula. I'm sure that you would draw a lot of attention. I was amazed at how much attention my dh as Zues drew. You could go as one of Ariels sisters. Good luck.

Those came out really cute. I was going to wait until I have time to make them, but dh and I decided to make tie dye shirts with a christmas tree on them for our family christmas. I think the Christmas tree design will be fairly straight forward to do and it should be recognizable. We have a big family christmas party (50+ people) and it is always warm so I'm debating whether to make long sleeved or short sleeved tees. I'm sure Denise will enjoy them.

Just let me know what you want it to say on each side.

Thanks so much! I'll pm you!

Here is a photo of us at the Crystal Palace with Pooh.

Boy that got pixelated when I resized it. It looks like I tried to hide my face. Sorry the one on my desktop looks much better.

Deb

Your family looks great!!

[JnEsWDWMom]

we just got home from Disney Princesses on Ice - it was so much fun - I highly reccomend you go if you can!!

I love the four parks design too - of course since I designed it - I might be a little biased!!

I put it on a lime green shirt and it was awesome

/QUOTE]

Thanks for that design, Kate! I'm definitely putting it on Lime Green. We are going to use it for the Christmas and the summer trips. I'm leaning toward using it on our door sign too. It looks so professional.

~~Lynn ~~

 

[JnEsWDWMom]

Lyn I love the first one - it's a great design

Thanks! And guess what? It's almost November!!!!! Every time I write the date for something next week at work, I think, Rosiejo must be getting so excited. I wish we were going to be down there to spy from the bushes. In a nice way.....

Nick is going to be the head in a fortune tellers ball. It will be the same concept at the costume my dh wore to a party this year. We called it dinner.
This was my dh:

I plan to do the black monster part as a brightly colored fortune teller and put Nick's head in a clear plastic globe (with airholes). I may put an Einstein type wig on him.

My little one Colby is going to be a Christmas Tree. I'm going to make the costume similar to the Bee Hive, only getting wider toward the bottom. I'll get some battery operated christmas lights and some small ornaments to finish it off. I'v always wanted to do Christmas style costumes, but never have. We have a Santa Costume so maybe dh can go as Santa.
This is the Beehive Costume:

I haven't been struck with the perfect idea for my middle son yet, but I've still got plenty of time. lol

It has gotten really cold here and we had snow yesterday though it is gone now so I need to get to the thrift store today to get a black trench coat that I can add gauze to to keep Hunter warm tomorrow night. His costume just had black pants and a black turtleneck which won't be warm enough.

I have a black winter coat that I can put under the bee hive for Colby and The shirt for Nick's wolfman costume is large enough that I can put layers under it.

Deb

Your costumes are amazing!

Seven in a row! Is that a record? I'll be quiet now.

That looks cool. I'm thinking of trying this as I know my attempt at tiedying would not be a pretty sight. Is it as easy as it sounds? i.e. is it goofproof?

Well I wouldn't say it's goofproof.. but it's not hard! I did it all free hand so I feel lucky that I got a good looking Mickey.. I was very nervous about him being crooked or something.

I was nervous at first b/c my mix seemed to bleed on the shirt, but once I let it dry long enough (overnight) it was fine.

Do you remember the original post # with the directions to do the Mickey swirl heads??

 

[disney newbie]

It was post #8658 on page 578.

 

[nkjzmom]

Hey...it was 8658 for the directions and I posted a picture of it in the very next post.
