Well, make sure your shirts are 100% cotton, use fabric reactive dye, if you go to Michael's or craft stores, look for Jacquard dye, that is the best, you can also use tulip for tie dye, not the RIT or the dye that comes in little pouches, that is not fabric reactive dye and it would not look the same. If you get the tulip dye/kit, fill the bottle half way or 3/4 to get a more intense color. Take your time and enjoy it, try not to make so many shirts at once since its your first time, you'll get overwhelmed.

Good Luck!

I have 10 shirts on hand for the family trip April 10th.
I am a little nervous since I am on the hook for making these for all of us.
I am not confident in using a bleach pen if Mickey "runs". I've heard of folks using bleach and a brush...but what type of brush?
And what do you use for the bling? I know the ladies (all but 2 shirts) would love that if I need to define Mickey. and when using the dye (most likely Tulip) how long are the dyes good for? I'm not sure I'll get through all 10 shirts in an evening.

I never heard of the 'brush' for bling you can use iron on rhinestones.The tulip must be use right away because the colors would fade, within a hour of mixing them. 10 in one evening is a lot for your first time, because you have to mark the ears, then the sewing, the soaking for a least 30 minutes, etc.

10 in one evening would be for the dye, not the whole process. I thought I had read in one of your posts about using a brusg and dipping it into bleach or taking some of the bleach from the pen and putting it onto a plate and then using a brush. I may have taken that from Tinker in another thread though. Thanks again for the advice.

Well if you have them all ready then you can go ahead and dyed all of them,that would be fine <3
Maybe someone else done that, I had only used the pen.

You're welcome.
