Making Disney Memories - Part 2 {Freezer Paper Stenciled Mickey Shirts}

If you've been following along you know we are surprising our boys with a trip to Disneyland in a few short weeks.  Yay!  The other day I shared with you a Washi Tape autograph book for each of the boys that I made, you can see it HERE.  Today I'm sharing with you one of the custom shirts I did for them to wear while on the trip.  And yes this is my son modeling the shirt {he thinks it's a product someone is buying from me!}  I knew I wanted to make them some shirts that were a little different and not so shall we say Disney-Geek!  I'm super weird and some may consider it mean...but I don't let the kids wear Disney or character clothing in public.  Eeeek.  I know, sounds vain right?!  It is!  I just don't like the way it looks, to me it's cheesy sometimes {totally just my opinion}, to each their own!  Several months ago I found some vintage looking Mickey Mouse shirts on clearance and picked those up {I love vintage Mickey!}  I couldn't find anything else that I liked so I decided to make my own.  I used the freezer paper stencil method for this shirt, you can find my tutorial HERE and HERE.  I had seen this "Mouse Stache" design before and liked it, I mean who doesn't love mustache's right now?!  Well except for on my husband!  

I simply found a pattern I liked online and printed it out, copied it on to my freezer paper.  Cut it out with my trusty xacto knife {my best friend until someone buys me a silhouette}.  Then I ironed all the pieces on to my shirt, removed which pieces were going to be black then painted those sections.  The white and red I did all by hand.  The letters were more time consuming to outline but not too bad.  You don't have to be that ridiculous and outline them, I just am!  Ha Ha.  Let it all dry for 24 hours, wash and wear!  {remember you are using tulip brand t-shirt paints}.  Now they have custom Disneyland shirts for under $6.  The shirt's {which I love} are Hanes and from Walmart for $5, I love that they are a v-neck.  They came in great colors.  I may or may not distress Mickey a bit still, I'm not sure.  Hope you like it.
