T-shirts


So the neighbor that was mentioned in the previous post is a science teacher and I saw that she had made these cool shirts using science.  So we decided to make our own Disney shirts using this method.  It was super easy and only cost us the cost of the shirts ($3.50 and $4.00 at Walmart).  You need a dark colored shirt.  We got black because that is the only one that they had in a sizes that would fit us (minus Tyler, because I couldn't find a black onesie!)  Anyway, you make any design that you want.  I made one from my Cricut with the Mickey Font cartridge.  I used cheap cardstock and placed them on the shirt.  Spray the shirts with bleach (only 2 or 3 sprays should do the job), REMOVE THE PATTERN IMMEDIATELY!!!  Wait for a couple of minutes until you have the color you want, and spray the shirts with white vinegar.  Wait for about 2 minutes and rinse your shirts and voila!  You have really cool shirts!

Trevor is quite curious what's going on, we wouldn't let him play with the bleach.
