Sorry this is OT, but the picture was in the Disney Catalogue with a special insert of 50th Anniversary merchandise. It is a really nice picture, if I still have it I'll see if hubbie can scan it in.

I'm going to attempt to make the Mickey tie dye and I have no idea where to start. Is the tie dye kit at Michael's a good way to start? I can't wait to see how everyone's different shirts turn out!

That would be wonderful if you can scan it for me, Princess.

Chim Chiminy, I LOVE your shirts!

For those of us who are tie-dye impaired, I wonder if this Rit sunburst design could be done with three circles instead of one, to make the Mickey head...

This would work, but you would have three actual/distinct circles instead of one continuous outline of Mickey. Make sense? Think of it as drawing a Mickey head by drawing one large cirle, lifting up the pencil and drawing a smaller circle for an ear, lifting the pencil and drawing another circle/ear....or not lifting your pencil and drawing a complete Mickey head in one shot.

I think I might try this way...not sure if I would like the over-all look quite as much, but it would be easier....I've tie dyed this way before, but never with stitching. I like doing crafty things, but I try to avoid anything with a needle and thread!! LOL.

I'd love to see what people have been able to do with a bleach pen or the cold wax. I can't wait to try something for our November trip!

Great thread. Zurg's Wife, I hope you post a trip photo of your family in the shirts when you return!

HM...this could be done in reverse, I think. Why couldn't you cut out a foam mickey and spray the rest of the shirt? Would it be too much to spray, using too much product? (meaning too expensive) Will the spray dyes work on colored t-shirts I wonder?

You could always try it out on an old t-shirt. I did think about it when I did the shirts, but decided I just wanted the shirt design simpler I guess.
I did ten shirts, plus a couple test shirts, and used less then half the spray color in the bottles.

I love all the tye dye shirts.
Here is a web-site I found for all us folks that aren't so crafty.
http://www.mdmintl.com/
They have great tye dye t-shirts @ $3.75 each min. order 1 dozen.
You can mix sizes & styles.
I found it easier for me just to order the tye dye from them.
Than I just use either clipart or pictures to do a iron on transfer.
Here is a great web-site for Disney pictures.
www.themeparks.com.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to post my pictures.

We made the tye dyed Mickey shirts for our trip last week. When I get my pics developed I will post some more pics, but right now heres the ones on photopass. They are the last 2 on the list.

We did our DDs first and when we dipped the tip in the dye we got too much on and it really bled through the stitching. We used the squirt bottle on DS's and it worked much better. When we went to do mine, the floss kept breaking( instead of buying waxed thread I just used a double strand of waxed dental floss.) so it didnt turn out. And my DH wouldnt wear his if I didnt wear mine....so the kids just wore theirs.

I just got my July/August FamilyFun magazine yesterday. It has a craft project called "Solar Flare T-shirt". You make a mixture of flour and water, put it in a sqeeze bottle and use it to make designs on a t-shirt. When it's dry you spray it with fabric paints (Tulip brand). When the paint's dry you peel off the flour paste to reveal the design. DS9 and I are going to try this. Does anyone no where I can find that swirl Mickey image? I thought that would look cute on a shirt.

I was planning on doing the same thing w/ lime green instead of that orange/yellow/reddish color they did. If you do yours first let me know how it turns out and I'l l do the same if I do first.

I just looked for it online and couldn't find it. Here is another family fun craft that's similar to it(instead of glue you use flour & water). If you like it, let me know and I will just type you the instructions in a pm(It's not that long). Send me a pm if you want the instructions.

If the link dosen't work, go to the main site and do a search for "white glue batik" and it should be the first one on the results.

 

[msmouse]

Ok. I did try to test this on the test board. Let's see if it works here. This is the costume I wore to last years MNSSHP.

That is so cute!!!! Did you do it or have it done

Materials

• Cardboard
• White cotton T-shirt
• 1 cup of flour
• 4-cup measuring cup
• Squeeze bottle
• Fabric spray paint
• Spray bottle

Cut cardboard to fit inside the shirt (keeps paint from bleeding through). Mix flour with water (should be consistency of mustard) in measuring cup right before you're going to apply it so it doesn't become gluey. Pour mixture into squeeze bottle and use it to draw on the shirt. Let it bake in the sun for a couple of hours until hardened.

Spray the shirt with fabric paint (Tulip brand) and let it dry in the sun. Remove cardboard, then peel off the flour paste to reveal your design. Wash shirt according to paint manufacturer's directions.

I'm not sure what the spray bottle is for if the paint comes in one already. ???

Love all the shirt ideas...I'm going to have to give it a whirl...now to just decide on which one I'm going to do. I really like those tie-dye mickey shirts...but then that spray on tie-dye...looks good also.... My question for that one though is how did you get such a big perfect looking Mickey head? And how did you make it so the spray didn't go over the line.

Oh...and loved the "Dis lurker" costume...VERY cute.

THESCHULTZFIVE, I had it done in a little T-Shirt shop in the mall here. Thanks!

Where did you find the design with the princess. or did you make it?
I would love to make this shirt for my daughters trip.

 

[billwendy]

Hi,

I saw a similar design on the disney direct site, but then i used different princesses that were abby's favorites, tossed in a minnie princess and it all seemed to come together!! i wonder if i emailed it to you if you could open the program on your computer?? if you would like to try it (I could even change the name for you) i am up for that!!
