Thanks julia & nicks mom! My "Wonder" design is awesome (wish I new how to post it!)

The overwhelming favorite is batch #2 (that was my favorite too). I am happy with the results, and wish all you other potential tie dyer's lots of fun! Thanks for the posts!!

I also like batch #2 - I have a question, I tried the tye dye and it came out nice, but I like how your batch #2 has a white border around the mickey head. How did you do it so that there was so much white around the head? I only have some white specks, but I like the effect that yours has. Thanks.

That's another one I've got to make!!! I now officially have more shirts than days of my trip!!

I think someone already asked but I can't find the reply. I've found some great clip art. How can I enlarge it without losing the quality? Is it a special program I need? I've downloaded the trial of PhotoImpact to play with this weekend after school shopping. (Can it be that time already?) TIA

 

[jacksmom]

Does anyone know where I can find "Pirates of the Carribean" clip art? I have tried a bunch of sites, but to no avail! Thanks for any help!

I found a product at Michaels called Setacolor Soleil. It give a batik like look. The examples on the package was totally awesome. It is a sun resist paint and rather than use leaves for that type of technique I am going to cut out Michey heads.

Here is what I am talking about. I am going to play with it tomorrow while my DD is at school.

I also bought some fabric glitter and fabric glue to put glitter on some of the iron ons to jazz them up a little.

How did you do it so that there was so much white around the head? I only have some white specks, but I like the effect that yours has. Thanks.

To make the white border, I took rubber bands and wrapped really, really tight for about 2" of shirt. For example, instead of just binding 1 rubberband, I used like 10 or so and binded them for about 2 inches. The ink bleeds cuz the shirts are wet, so I wanted to make sure even if it did bleed, I would still have the white border..it worked. I might do it a little bit less next time for a smaller white border, but that's what I did.
Thanks again, good luck!!

That link doesn't take you to it. You have to select products and then Setacolor Soleil.

It is really cool. I can't wait to try it.

Great - thanks for the info - I was only using one rubber band around the mickey head and two rubber bands along the "body" of the shirt I guess that's why I didn't get the effect you did - I like the amount of white you have as a border. Thanks for the quick reply, I'm going to have another go at it tomrrow!

Lionqueen -

I want to warn you that when I go to make my Mickety tye dyes - I will probably fill up your pm box with questions!!!

Those look awesome - I have all my stuff just not the energy to deal with the mess!! Did you use 100% cotton tees?

 

[billwendy]

Whew,

all these shirts look awesome!!!!

I am going with a group in september for night of joy and then for the following week. i would love to do the tie dies for the night of joy and then i have an idea to put everyone's favorite character and their name on iron ons and iron them on,,,,,what do you guys think?

are the tie dies really hard? is there a link to step by step directions on how to do it? i would hate to mess up 16 shirts!!! i really think its fun seeing everyones shirts and getting excited about our trips!!

thanks, wendy
