    Disney Family Vacation Shirt

    By Kevin | Craft Projects & Home Decor, Vinyl Templates | 9 comments | 20 January, 2016 | 0

    Well it’s been about a year since we last visited Disneyland {okay only 10 months} and I must admit I’m going crazy wishing we were there! We have accrued enough sky miles to fly our family somewhere and since our youngest little guy is only 5 months we have been trying to decide what would be the best place for the family. We have done quite a bit of research and have come to the conclusion that our little kids at their ages just love to go and see Mickey. I mean, who doesn’t love Disneyland??? We also have been trying to potty-train our third child and we figured this would be great incentive for him to learn. We are already going to the park, but figured why not let him think that we are going because he is now a “big boy”?!? It’s a win-win for everyone.Mickey

    Now that we have plane tickets and the the hotel all booked it now is time to start thinking about the important things, family shirts and disney attire. Our very first Disney visit as a family was a little less than two years ago and I made these fun subway art t-shirts. We loved them! They were so much fun designing and creating these shirts for the family to wear. To see a full tutorial on how I created these go HERE. I also painted character hats and made fantastic disney backpacks for the kids, both of which the boys still wear and use to this day. When I started thinking about last years shirts, I realized that I never put them up on the blog. I can’t believe I didn’t share this fun idea with you!Disney Family Vacation Shirt

    So here I am finally sharing these Disney family vacation shirts with you almost a year later. Here is what you will do . . .

    Supplies:

    • Shirts (I went to Wal-mart)
    • Acrylic paint (Buy on Amazon –Black, Yellow, and White)
    • Fabric Medium (Buy on Amazon – Fabric Medium)
    • Sponge brush (Buy on Amazon – Sponge Brushes 9pk)
    • Stencil of some kind
    • Tacky Spray (Buy on Amazon – Krylon Easy Tack)
    • Cardboard Box

    Step 1 : Prep

    Begin by wrapping a cardboard piece in parchment/wax paper and placing in the shirt so that paint doesn’t seep through to the other side. 

    I created this Mickey outline with all of our families names, placing a star in between each name. Then I cut the template out of vinyl to use as a stencil. To add your own names, just place this SVG into your cutting software, split/break the image and delete our names. Now you can re-arrange the layout and add your families’ names. Download SVG file below and PDF file here: Disney Family Vacation Shirt Download-Icon-click-225x300

    Step 2: Stencil Placement

    Take stencil or vinyl and stick to shirt. Place vinyl, with it’s backing still on, where you want it on the shirt and tape down. Flip up and remove backing. Spray vinyl with a tacky spray. I use Easy Tack by Krylon. Flip vinyl back down on the shirt and press firmly. Remove the transfer tape slowly making sure all the vinyl stuck well to the shirt. I then use my Mini Pizza Roller to ensure everything is well stuck.


    {For a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to stick the stencil correctly check out this post.}Disney Family Vacation Shirt

    Now place the template on the shirts. If using freezer paper, iron it into place. If using vinyl, stick it on using this method with tacky spray. I also have a video here that shows how I do it using another shirt I made.

    Step 3: Painting

    Take a sponge brush with fabric paint or acrylic paint {mix the fabric medium with your acrylic paint to make the paint flexible to help prevent cracking when washed} and dab paint within stencil/vinyl.Disney Family Vacation Shirt

    Note: For Tinkerbell’s magic dust, I had my vinyl machine cut tiny holes, but the holes were just too small for the paint to work. So after removing all the vinyl when the paint was dry (24 hours), I hand painted little dots. I began by making an outline of how I wanted to dust to be, and then filled in the outline with dots. It was very easy, but took me about an hour to do all the shirts. View the pictures below to see how I shaped the magic dust on the shirts. . . Disney Family Vacation Shirt

    Step 4: Finishing

    Once the paint is completely dry {I wait 12-24 hours, just to make sure} remove the vinyl stencil and cardboard from inside the shirt. Then place a piece of scrap fabric over the painted areas and heat set the paint with a hot iron.Disney Family Vacation Shirt

    Notice one of the names is “baby boy”. This is because I was 22 weeks pregnant and had just found out the gender of our fourth child.

      Hi I want to use this file with my Cricut explore but don’t know how to split the image so I can insert our own names. Any idea how I would go about doing this?

      I am trying to figure out how to do this with my cricut software. Is there a chance you could walk me through this? It’s a really cool design!

        I’m not sure. I haven’t ever used the cricut software. I only know how to use the Make The Cut software. I’m very sorry!

        Mariem,
        I use the Make The Cut software. The curved feature was a pain to figure out! I get a lot of requests on editing it for others. So I actually am in the process of setting up a “shop” aspect to my blog where people can purchase an edited version of this file, customized for their family. I’m even in the process of creating an option to purchase pre-cut vinyl templates, for those who don’t have a craft/vinyl cutter.

        If you would like me to do it, I could re-design the image with your families’ names for a $10-$15 fee, depending how many names I need to add into the image.

      Genevieve,
      Can you share what vinyl you use for your templates, and the name of your font? I’m in the process of trying to make these with the help of a creative friend of mine. I just painted the first one tonight. I think preparing the stencil on the shirt was the hardest part with all the intricacies of the font. Thanks for the art and tips!

        Jill,
        I am currently out of town and without access to my computer. Can I get back to you with the answers in a few days? Thanks!

          Well of course! I’ve gone ahead but would still love to have more details about your materials and process. Thanks!
