Easy Bleached Mickey Shirts

We are "those" people. We wear our ears outside of the park. We stroll down Main Street hand in hand. We dance and sing our way through the parks. We even wear matching or themed t-shirts. However, finding shirts that we all like, are in all of our sizes (especially for Dad) and won't break the bank (4 shirts x 7 days x $$ = $$$). Luckily Mom Omouse is super crafty.

When we go to Disney we think its fun to have matching shirts. This is a simple project but because you have to use bleach I suggest only doing it with older Omouse kids.

What you need:

-Freezer paper

-Iron

-Bleach Pen

-Mickey pancake mold (or other stencil)

1. Cut a piece of freezer paper bigger than your templet.

2. Put the freezer paper inside the shirt. Make sure the wax side (shiny side) is up

3. You are going to iron the shirt so the wax melts and sticks to the shirt. This will keep the bleach from bleeding to the other side. 

4. The paper is stuck to the shirt. I had to set the iron on the cotton setting to make the wax melt.

you can test it on a lower setting and work your way up till the paper sticks. 

5. On adult shirts I measure down 4 inches from the collar to the inside of the Mickey pancake mold. For a child’s shirt I did 3.5 inch.

6. Trace the inside of the Mickey. HINT: shake your bleach pen before you start and make sure the cap in on when you shake it.

7. It will look like this. 

8. Draw a cool pattern and let it sit. I let mine sit for a few hours then rinsed them in the sink and washed the shirts alone.

9. They came out amazing
