I was sent plain white t-shirts for our Disney Side Party for the kids to decorate. They sent fabric markers accompanied with it but I decided to do something different.
Materials:
Plain White Shirt
A Spray Bottle
Food Coloring
Mickey Mouse Silhouette
Scissors
Water
Cardboard or Newspaper
First things first get a clean empty spray bottle, fill the bottle about 1/2 way full adding about 10 drops of food coloring to the water. Then lay the t-shirt on a flat surface (we did this in the grass) in between the t-shirt I placed a piece of cardboard so that they coloring would not bleed onto the backside of the shirt. The Mickey Mouse silhouette I printed off and cut out and then placed in the center of the t-shirt. I highly recommend using cardstock to print the Mickey Mouse on if you are using it to make more than one shirt. The first shirt we did turned out great but using the same Mickey Mouse on the 2nd t-shirt was so saturated that Mickey Mouse didn’t come out so great. The the kids sprayed the front side of their shirts, spraying over the Mickey Mouse and surrounding areas.
Now kids have their own personalized Mickey Mouse shirts, they also accented their shirts with the Fabric Markers. The picture below is my 6-year-old son’s finished t-shirt.
The kids loved this. If you search on-line you could find different Disney characters and make different Disney t-shirts!

Those really are super cute and very creative. We had our Disney Side party this very weekend. So fun.
What a cute idea. When we were in Disney in October, I paid a small fortune for matching Halloween Mickey/Disney shirts off of someone on Etsy. I might try to make shirts for our trip this summer.
What a fun idea!
How cute! We were trying to think of a way to do a simple tye dye with ours but could never figure it out. This would have worked.
Oh, now I want to see what a tie dye shirt would look like too! LOL!
What a cute idea. Love how they turned out.
What a great idea for a family rip! And easy enough even I could do it!
This is such an adorable DIY idea! I love how easy it is, and I bet the kids love being able to personalize their own Mickey!
lol. Too cute! Your son’s t-shirt is adorable! Such a cutie! I have to share this idea with my cousin. Her kids are at the perfect age to do this! Thanks! 🙂
Those are so cute! What a great idea
That is such a cute idea. I bet the kids had lots of fun making them.
Super easy and creative too! I wouldn’t of thought to have them spray the paint and make the silhouette! Love the idea!
Really cute and I bet the kids loved them.
Very cute idea! You can add other characters too and have children do different shirts!
Your tye-dye shirts came out great! What a fun idea to incorporate the Disney theme into something the kids can keep!
Anything that has to do with Disney is fun! The shirt looks like a fun project!
What a fun idea. My nephew and nice love Mickey Mouse so this would be a fun craft for them!!
Oh I love this idea… we got stencils for our #DisneySide party but this would have been so much better… ha.
This is a really cute idea. And a fun activity for kids (of all ages)!
this shirt is so cute!!! I love it! What a wonderful project to do with my daughter.
Love this idea. Both my boys will love to do something like this.
I love that you could leave it plain OR decorate it. Super fun idea!
I bet the kids had a ton of fun making those shirts!
What a creative idea! My daughter would love doing something like this and it seems easy enough for a 3 year old!
Cute idea! This would be fun idea for a Disney themed birthday party.
This is such an adorable idea, thanks!!
This is so cute! My nephew would go crazy for this! He is such a huge mickey mouse fan!
Great idea! Each one is unique! It looks like the had a wonderful time making them!
Those are adorable! I bet the kids loved using the spray bottles!

That is so adorable. It looks cute plain or decorated. I would love to make one of these for my toddler.
This is such a cute idea! We love Mickey Mouse so we will try this soon!
What an awesome idea! These turned out so cute and how much fun that the kids got to do it all!
What a great idea!! We can’t wait to go to Disney Land! I think we will do something just like this before our trip! Thank you for sharing this!
This is an adorable idea. My son is a huge Mickey fan, and I’d love to cover a whole shirt in Mickey heads for him!
What a fun idea.. LOVE it!!!!! Soo cute..thanks for sharing and your son’s picture looks awesome, bet he got lots of compliments on that shirt…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this turned out!
That is such a cute t-shirt! My kids would have a blast making one of these for themselves. They love decorating all their own shirts.
What a cute idea! I used to love going to Disney when I was a kid 🙂
What a fun idea! My boys would have a blast with the spray bottles!
This is such a cute idea. I love how the shirt turned out!
That is just too adorable!!! Great idea and awesome craft to involve the kids.
This is such a cute idea!!! It looks super easy for the little ones, too! This may have to work its way into my craft schedule for my 4 year old!!!! Thank yo so much for sharing! She’s going to love it!
That is awesome!! What a great idea! I love the idea of silhouettes and them drawing in a face. Completely love it!
That is ADORABLE! I love Mickey Mouse- and we are heading to the Fla coast this summer to play!
What a fun idea!
That is so cute. My daughter loves Mickey Mouse. This will be fun to do!
This is so cute!!! I love it! 🙂 Looks super simple too.
That is an awesome idea. So Cute.
Now that’s a GREAT idea!! I wish we had the weather for it!
Spray bottles are an awesome way to do splatter shirts or tie-dye! I’ve never seen anyone do it that way before. Love it!
Awh! That is such a cute idea. I love that they got to customize their own.
That is so much fun! I bet the kids love that!
Your son is too cute! He did a great job on his shirt. I’m looking forward to doing more crafts like this with my son as he gets older!
What a cute idea! Looks perfect for our upcoming trip to DisneyLand!
Okay, this is so awesome! I love it! I wonder if even I could do this. I’m not very creative at all… but this looks so easy and I love how it turned out!
What a great idea. You were brilliant to do it outdoors too. I’m all for cute and easy clean up too. 🙂
What a fun DIY project. The step by step seems really simple and fun to do with kids.
What a unique idea! I love that it’s so affordable AND the kids can help make them.
That is a really cute idea! I love the tie-dye effect, but after you get a few tie-dye shirts they all kind of start to look the same. This is going for the same sort of thing, but so different! Love how they turned out!
Cool and cute at the same time. My little one would love a little Mini on her t-shirt. I should try it for Easter with a bunny shape.
What an adorable idea! My kids would love if we did this when it gets warmer out!
What a fun Disney inspired idea
Such a cute idea! I wish I was more creative and crafty!
Such a clever idea! This gives the kids a starting point and then they can add their own spin on things!
I love this idea. I have a few t-shirts left from my Disney Side party. I’m going to give this a try.
I love this. I is adorable.
Love these! My youngest is a Mickey and Minnie nut so I’ll be doing this for a beach shirt this year!
Oh I love this project! It gives them such opportunities to be creative and no two will look the same.
What a great DIY idea! I can’t wait for my baby to be older so she can enjoy little activities like this.
I love this! The blue is perfect! Stopping by to let you know that you’ve been featured at Nap-Time Creations weekend features! Thanks for linking up to Create Link Inspire! I’ve spread the word all around social media, would love a reshare or two :o) Please grab a button from my footer if you don’t already have one. Emily
What a great idea! I’m sure the kids will love this. Especially with the different characters so everyone can choose their favorite.
What a cute and safe idea for a silhouette shirt. I’ve seen ones done with bleach water or dyes that I wouldn’t want my nephew to get his hands on, but this would be a fun project for him (what is it with boys and squirting water?!) He would love the magic of seeing the Mickey Mouse that he “created”. Looks like the kids had a lot of fun!
I just love this craft, perfect for Disney BDay Parties and little girl get-togethers, or just a project. Thanks for sharing,
Super Cute! Can I wash the t shirt afterward without damaging the colors?
