this is a picture of a shirt I had made for my sister when she turned 50 on our visit to Disney. It reads, "Turning 50 with Mickey!"

We bought our tie dyes and then had them all screen printed. We had this on the back and a smaller version of that with a circle around it on the front left chest. We bought 25 shirts (5 different ones for each person so we could wear a different shirt each day). We loved them and we got so many positive comments on them

It worked out great and now we have 25 souvenir shirts The shirts cost $4 each and the screen printing as a couple of dollars each. Not bad compared to the tshirts you buy at Disney world

MIchiele!!!! Oh my Gosh, I saw you guys!! It was on May 25 at MK for the opening show at the train station. You guys had on the green ones! They looked so good. In fact you were in my picture of the train coming into the station that was blurry! I thought to myself,"I'll bet those are Disers.", but I am so shy about going up to people I don't know. We wore our homemade tye dyes later in the week. I'll try to post a picture when hubby gets home to help.
Loving everyone's pics!!!

Lynn, That is so neat that you saw us!!! Imagine that! Hope you had a great trip! I know we did! Those shirts really were fun and more importantly, they helped us in many ways while we were there. One being, finding each other easily. But the best probably was when the boys got picked for Jedi in Training. We were wearing the very brightest ones, the ones in the picture I posted. My oldest wanted to be picked for Jedi in Training sooooo bad. Out of everything on the trip, that seemed to be the thing he cared the very most about. When they were picking kids out of the audience, I was just praying that he would be picked. He was and so was his brother! I know the shirts had to help with that! I was so thankful for the shirts at that moment!

Ok, these are not as beautiful as all these others I've seen, but we had a ball making them and have got alot of comments. They've lasted pretty well also. They went with us in October, December and May. Here's a link to the picture on our page.

I hope this works. Hubby said it would, so if it doesn't, blame him!

PS. Michiele, I'm so glad your sons made it into the Jedi training. There were alot of kids trying. I'll bet those shirts helped!!

JnEsWDWMom, Your shirts are great! How did you do yours???

 

[Disneymommie]

I found the fints...how do I save them in non computer terms(ie....I am not very computer savvy!) I saved them somewhere on my puter but do not know how to use them.

Also I like the tye dye shirts posted a few posts up with the white Mickey heads....How did you do those???

 

[JnEsWDWMom]

Jacksmom,
We got a kit from AC Moore (craft store) with spray bottles and instructions, but actually used Procion MX Dye because we heard it was the best. I cut a big Mickey head out of poster paper and sprayed all around it, just whatever colors I felt like. The little Mickey heads are from the paint samples from Home Depot.(If you pop them in the microwave for five seconds, the glue softens and you can peel them off the backing.) I used just a little color on mine so it's more pastel, while Hubby just soaked his with color so it is bright. There were steps on the box of how to set the color and all. It was so much fun. The neighbors came over to see what was going on in our courtyard.
Keep the ideas coming people!!!!

I created a shirt design in word that I'm going to make an iron-on of. Is there anyway I can share the design with you all without having an actual picture of it?

Do you have any kind of image editing software? And are you using Windows? If so, open your Word file and hit the Print Screen key - this will copy the image on your screen to your clipboard. Then open your image editing software, create a new file, and select Paste from the Edit menu (or click Ctrl+V) to paste the image into your document. Save it as a JPEG (.jpg) file and post it to the DIS Photopost site, and then you can link to it in your message.

This is a design I created in Word. I'm going to print it on a iron on transfer and put it on a tank top to wear on our honeymoon.

I was going to wait to see other peoples before I showed mine. But I guess I will take the opurtunity to brag. I made these for our trip last May. We had many people, including cast members ask where we got them. We all had one, but as you can see the pre-teen refused to cooperate.

Now that I went first I want to see some other ideas I can use on out upcoming trip for Halloween.

These are awesome! I must try. Did you do the baste stitch with a sewing machine with the waxed thread? Also, did you use individual colors or did you mix colors from the kit? I'm going to Michael's this weekend! I really like the color combos you used and the fact that so much of your shirt actually came out dyed. About how long did it take you to apply the dye to each shirt once you got it folded? I've read some of the instructions on the tie dye links but I'm still a little confused. Thanks in advance! Also, was this your first attempt or have you dyed before? (I'm a bit reluctant to try, but your shirts came out gorgeous, and I'm really inspired! )
