[merimarie]

Just finished up this shirt for our next trip! I'll be making a Sully one for my husband soon and possibly a Mike, George, etc for our friends joining us! So excited! Anyone else have pictures of shirts they've made? I would love to see them!!

Thanks! It's acrylic paint with textile medium added to it. I use contact paper for the stencil!

I loooove it!! I hope you will post the other shirts too! I'd love to hear more about how you made them. Dis you buy the stencils?

I have a Silhouette Cameo I used to cut contact paper for the stencil. The image was a coloring page!

This was my first project. It glows in the dark!

Too awesome!! The ghost shirt would be so perfect to wear while at the Haunted Mansion. I had to look up the cameo, sounds like a very handy machine

It's awesome! I've had a cricut for years, but I haven't touched it since I got my cameo!

How old is your cricut? If it runs on version 2.3 or older you can get sure cuts a lot then it can cut SVG files you make or download!

Is it fabric you are making the image on the shirt from?

I painted a t-shirt with acrylic paint with a textile medium added to it so it would be more flexible/washable.

You add it to acrylic paint to help the acrylic paint become more flexible and washable. You can find it with the acrylic paints at the craft store - the one I used was ceramcoat
