Disney-Bound!

California, here we come!!  :)  We're going to Disneyland & 2 of my 4 kids had Mickey shirts that they wanted to wear!  Well. . . that left 2 without shirts, so . . . I had to get creative!!!  ;)  Both shirts were super simple (like all my projects ;) - but my son's was the easiest!!!

For his shirt, we used:
* a black shirt
* contact paper (I'm sure freezer paper would have worked MUCH better - but used what I had!! ;)
* bleach (and bleach pen if desired)
* spray bottle

 First, cut a Mickey shape (I used a pattern of course!) out of Contact Paper.  Remove paper backing & attach to shirt.  Make sure it's completely stuck to shirt (technical, I know! ;).

 Put bleach in spray bottle & spray shirt as desired!!!  Make sure to cover edges of contact paper  to leave the shape outline.  *** Like I said above - freezer paper would probably work much better, because the bleach went under the Contact Paper :( - - however, we still liked the end result!!

 We were not expecting the red when we sprayed bleach!!  It was kind of a cool surprise!!  (After it was washed & dried, it faded to a rust color - so neat!!)

  I used a bleach pen to trace the Mickey outline, to try & make it stand out a little more!  I left it on for about 10 minutes, then washed & dried the shirt.

  The final product!!  It's unique to say the least!!!  ;)  My husband said it looks like flames -  - could just be the firefighter in him!!!  ;)









For my daughter's shirt - - it looks simple (which it actually was), but was kinda time consuming!!  She loves zebra print, so we did a simple black Minnie head with a zebra bow!!

I used the same pattern as above - and cut a black head out of felt.  I sewed it onto the shirt, made a simple bow out of zebra fabric & hand sewed it on!!  Easy peasy!!  ;)
