T-Shirts!!

[twins4mimi]

I am looking for the thread that had the disney t-shirts you can make with the mickey heads(I think you used flour and water?) and the fabric spray paint. Anyone know what I am talking about?? THANKS in advance for any help!

Hmm... no i don't sorry. But it sure sounds like fun, so i'm with you, lol... So... anyone know about these babies?

If you go to the Family Fun website, I think you will find what you are looking for. Do a search for the "solar flare t-shirts". I have not tried to make one, but they look really cute!

YES! I started a new thread yesterday about these t-shirts but to be honest...I get lost in all of these message boards and don't know where to find it now. Luckily, I did email it to myself so I could find it easily. Here it is. I got a lot of help from another poster so if you have questions you can email be at ggolibel@gmail.com. I'm gonna try it too!

We made these t-shirts for DD's 3rd birthday party using flour, water and spray-on fabric dye. They were easy and fun. The instructions are on this thread: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1387362

I just read the instructions and it seems easy enough. One question for ya...your Mickey swirls look a lot fatter than the other ones. I believe she used a squirt bottle to make the spirals...did you use something different? I guess as long as you get the flour water mixture on the shirt to protect the fabric from the paint it doesn't matter how it is applied....right? Could you brush it on with a paintbrush?

I think the OP in that thread used a glue bottle. I used a kitchen squeeze bottle (for decorating cookies or putting sauces on things). I think my tip had a bigger hole in it, so my lines are thicker.

Also -- I tried to add water into the flour and it got all lumpy. I kept getting lumps stuck in my bottle then when they squeezed out it got goopy. After doing several, I learned that if you add the flour into the water (instead of vice versa) it's easier to mix it till it's smooth. But, I kind of like how the goopy ones look.

But, to answer your question: Yes, I think you could apply it any way you wish... you just might get a different look depending on what you do. (I know someone how put their flour/water goo into a ziplock bag and snipped off a corner. That worked too.)

We did these! Except we call them hidden Mickey shirts cause for some reason the dye did not stay! And we had to do them a second time. We used a glue bottle the first time but the second time we used a baggie. The baggie was easier to use! We also made wider lines the second time. We really enjoyed making our shirts. Thanks to whomever starting this!
