Hey, guys.
This is Meghan from JaMonkey, and we're
getting ready for our Disney Side party.
As you can see, we've got all of our props
ready for our photo booth, and now we're
going to be making these awesome t-shirts.
But before we get started with the group,
I'm going to show you how to make them in this video.
The first thing you need for this video
is your favorite Disney character.
We're going to cut it out on cardstock paper
so that you can trace it onto the contact
paper, some scissors, some contact paper.
I found this in the back of Staples
in the school supply section where
they do the book covers and things like that.
It's just a clear plastic that you can put over books.
Now, we need to trace your design on to the contact paper
so I just hold it down firmly and use a pen
to go around the edges.
Now that my outline is on the contact paper,
I'm going to cut off the section that has the castle on it
to make it easier to cut out with scissors.
The castle design has a lot of nooks and crannies
so it just makes it easier to be able to swivel my scissors back
and forth and able to get into all those cracks.
If I were doing an easy design, like Mickey, I probably
could just cut it right off of the roll.
Now, it's time to cut the design out.
We're left with this great silhouette with the sticky side
that we can place right on our t-shirt,
enabling us to color all around the t-shirt
and not get anything in the center.
Place a piece of cardboard inside your t-shirt
so that the colored fabric markers don't bleed through.
Then you're just going to take your transfer
and pull the sticky part off of it,
and then we're going to place it on the t-shirt wherever
we want it, whether it's in the center or on the side
or on the back.
You want make sure that it's even.
Luckily, I have this crease in the middle
that I was able to line it up a little bit perfectly.
And then you want to press it down
as well as you can to get all of the little pieces, the flags,
any corners that might be popping up to go down.
Time to break out your Crayola fabric markers.
You can find these at Michaels stores.
They also have different colors and different brands,
but these are much cheaper than the other fabric markers
that I found.
So I'm going to start by using one color first,
and what I'm going to do is is I'm actually going to go around
the edge of the castle so that I get a bearing of where
the outline is, and I'm just going
to start by making little dots.
This whole project is all dots.
I want these dots to be partial dots so that they're partially
on the fabric and partially on the plastic.
And then I'm just going to keep going around
until I have a full outline of the entire castle.
And as I go, you can see the castle forming.
And now, I'm just going to start making
dots that separate away from the castle.
Now, I'm going to start adding in some different colors.
Obviously, however many colors you want to use,
it's up to you.
I ended up using a lot of bright colors.
It reminded me of sprinkles.
So as you can see, I've got lots and lots,
starting to separate them to make them even wider.
And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to pull off
the transfer, and as you can see, the design is still there.
It looks like a big bursting thing
of fireworks behind the castle.
So now we want to set our project because these Crayola
markers you need to iron them on the reverse side for four
minutes on the highest setting, or you can throw them
in the dryer on the highest setting for 30 minutes
that way your design will not wash away
once you've washed it.
The kids really loved doing this project.
They did lots of different designs
with Ariel and Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse heads,
and they came out really, really great.
