How do I get the colors from running together and making the white part of the shirt look like muck after I have tie dyed them and rinsing them out?

Just got back from WDW on Friday. Just wanted to say thanks again for all the instructions. I saw groups with tie dye mickey shirts EVERYWHERE from grandparents to babies wearing them. I wanted to go ask people if they used your directions but didn't want to be a stalker

I was so jealous cuz the group I was with would NEVER have worn those shirts. I made one for myself but only slept in mine My kids made some shirts and socks before I left and you bet I'll be making them for our next (immediate family) Disney trip. Especially love the bow ones.

Great job everyone, I saw great work out there! Thanks again for the detailed information and following up with all my questions.

Hi, let me see.. If you don't want your colors to 'touch' each other, when you pouring the dye don't overlap the colors, just apply the dye next to the other color but just next to it not on top (make sense? ) about the white part being like muck it does look like that when you first take the rubber bands and rinse it, but after you wash the shirt the extra dye should wash away.

Thank you. It's off the the washing machine then with them. I'll post and let you see how I did.

I made this one for DD's friend, no mickey on this one. I washed it a couple of times because the black runs wild into the yellow.

We just got back on Sunday and maybe we were one of the groups you saw! I made our shirts a few weeks ago using these directions and they turned out great. Lots of nice compliments and several people asked which store at Disney sold them - they were disappointed when I said I made them.

One very nice lady and her friend on the ferry to the Magic Kingdom wanted detailed instructions as she was all excited to make them for her family. I was happy to oblige.

They're great conversation starters and also serve to make it easy to spot the young'uns when they dash off after yet another exciting thing.

I can't get to Photobucket here at work but later on I'll post pictures of our shirts. The Mickey head is of course green - not lime green as I didn't think it would offer enough contrast to stand out like I wanted but still green.

We used the Dharma dyes and shirt blanks and all the tips on this thread and I was thrilled with the results. I made a plain tie-dye (no Mickey) using Dharma's Summer Mama shirt and it was my absolute favorite! I'm going to get another one to make into a Mickey shirt for next year.

Awesome, cannot wait to see your pics, glad you guys had fun.

It was hard to get a really good picture of all of us as with 3 little boys it's like herding cats some days. But our shirts were a huge hit at Disney and the boys loved them! Even DH was happy to wear his muscle T Mickey shirt.

Thanks for sharing! You guys look super cool, love the green, I agree the bright green looks much better. And Daddy looks cool too!

Wow, pixiedust, the shirts are beautiful--you should sell them on ebay. All the directions in the world and i still would not be able to do a shirt like you produced.

 

[PixieDust32]

Thank you Nancy! thanks for the advice, I'll check it out.

How come? What happened to your shirt?
