For Aidan’s birthday we went for a Mickey Mouse theme or tried to, you remember the CHAOS?
I really wanted to make him something unique and when I could not find any Mickey tops in his size (which he didn’t have already) I took it as my cue to craft 🙂 – who am I kidding, waking up is a cue to craft…
These T-shirts were on the sale rack at MrPrice which is obviously a sign to try bleach printing… (also I only have pink glitter fabric paint and wasn’t too sure of that)
 |
| They are not perfect but I like them 🙂 These were my first tries ever so I’m pretty sure the next ones will be even better… Aidan wears the black one with orange shorts as pj’s now |
 |
| I used: bleach (will go for thick one next time and not work on a Scissors A decal contact paper t-shirt cotton buds |
 |
| Make a stencil with contact paper and cut out – you might want to print this and not wing it, I’m a winger… |
 |
| Stick newspaper inside the T-shirt so bleach does not go right through |
 |
| Dip cotton buds in bleach and make dots around where you stuck down stencil _ I wanted to have a Heavy rock Mickey feel (because I like to be different) so I added a few random drops for that disheveled look (also my cotton bud control is not as awesome as I thought, but lets go with disheveled look story) would probably go for a more precise finish in the future, but it worked  |
|
| My little rock star on his birthday 🙂 |
To recap, this is a great craft with endless possibilities but BE CAREFUL, bleach is unforgiving and FAST acting so have your plan ahead of time…
