I am NO GOOD at this, so I guess DH and I will not have custom shirts at WDW

It's not like we won't have anything else that we could wear

 

[kaddjr]

Thanks for all the great ideas and tips everyone! We're going in December and this gives me plenty of things to do between now and then!

A few years ago, eleven friends and I went to WDW for our annual Ladies Only Trip. We had 2 sets of T-shirts that we wore and we caused quite a stir! I can only find one picture on my hard drive or in any online albums that I have saved, and this is not the better set of shirts. We had white shirts with black letters that were terrific too. Not hard to make, and very effective. Anyone want to guess what they spelled????

Okey, dokey, PNO4TE, I'll take a guess...either Minnie Mouses or Mickey Mouses????

We had M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E-! Everywhere we went, guests and CMS would say thing like, "Hey! We just saw M and C over by Dumbo!" It was a wonderful trip even though it was 2 weeks after 9/11 and we had a bit of rain.

I have a photo shot taken by a CM on Main Street of all of us, if I can put my fingers on it and scan it I will post it.

I am so inspired now! We're going in August for my dd's 11th birthday- I'll have to get rockin to decide what to do. I like the tie-dye, but would like the shirt to say something about her birthday as well.

Do you know if you can iron on a transfer after the shirt has been tie dyed?

Thanks!

Has anyone used a word program and an iron on transfer?? does it work, or do you need a photoshop type program?? I do have a corel program, but not very good with it. just wondering.

I think that would work. You could try printing your design on paper to check the image quality before you print it on a transfer.

Okay...my shirt idea isn't a Mickey tie-dye but we all think it's cool. No pix yet, though.

Everyone gets to tie-dye their shirts with sunny orange, royal blue and LIME GREEN! There will be iron-on transfers of Ohio with our town mapped, Florida with Orlando mapped and two arrows going between them. On the back it will say: "We spent a bunch of money on this Disney trip and spent 6 hours flying so we could see Mickey and all we got were these tee shirts!!"

You know, I wouldn't mind helping out a few people with some transfer designs. How about this: first three people to pm me with their design idea that they want illustrated I'll create for them on a first-come, first-served basis? Should be fun

Be sure to inlcude what text you want, what colors you want, style ideas, what color background, etc.

Absloutly - just a little harder to coordinate clip art and such. I made a couple a while back that said "Love is being a Grandma" and palce photos of the three grandkids on it (for my AUnt) and just used word. When you print it - there is a button someone (the transfer directions will tell you where) - that says invert or something - so that the text comes out backwards so that when you iron it - it comes out right.

WHat program you use won't effect it as much as your printer - have a test shirt ready - to practice on - so that your printer prints neatly (my old one was horrible quality) - and then practice with the iron once Good luck and have fun.

Ok, lets try to post a picture (my first one) and see if this is a good shirt idea. I do have a good photo quality HP printer, so hopefully this will work ok-- what do you think??

(ps-- I scraplifted the picture from a WDW post card)

I sent Midnite a PM also. You guys come up with such good ideas and I think mine are all dorky (at least the kids do).

I've never tried doing an iron on transfer design in Word but I have used the Paint program several times.

Well I am in the process ofmaking trip t-shirts for next summer's trip.....nor my family, or the one we are traveling with ahs any final plans, but i am hoping the t-shirts will give everyone that extra disney boost we need! I am taking 12 character's (yes we are a group of twelve ranging from 3 to 82!!! ) and then using photoplus to edit our faces onto our characters faces! here are the characters i am using.
Minnie _
MIcky_
Daisy_
Donald_
Nanny_ Those are the five adults
Simba_ the 3 yr old
Belle_
Mulan_
Pocahontus_ the Older children
Tinkerbell_ The little girl
Smee_ The oldest boy (hes not that old only 12 but i thought he'd get a kick out of smee )
What does everyoen think? I want a good slogan to put on the shirts, our last slogan was something ahving to do with an adventure, but i want the slogan emphisizing us as a big group! haha well what does everyone think?

I've gotten great response! 11 PM's
I'll be messaging the first 3 in a few hours. I don't have time to read them all right now. If possible, I'll try to do more than the 3. I'll just have to let you know.
