i-rocked Mickey!

I wanted to make a shirt to wear in Disney.  So I took a white shirt and added some purple i-rock crystals and came up with this!
I made a pattern on my Gypsy. I used the Mickey head from Mickey Font Sillouette Function 3.12 inches high.  I put this on Layer 1.
   On Layer 2, I made 0.25 inch circles from George as my cut outs for the crystals.  I put the circles around the Mickey Head.  I used the x and y coordinates to line up the circles.

I also used a square from George to cut out the design.



I pulled out purple (my favorite color) crystals out and put one in each hole.  I taped the template on my shirt.
I typically don't read instructions and started thinking at this point that I might need to put something between the layers of the shirt.  So, I took 2 pieces of cardstock and carefully slid them between the shirt layers.  Yeah, I knocked about half of the crystals off!!

I used my Jolee's Jewel heat setter to adhere the crystals on the shirt.
Here is the final shirt again.  This was so easy once I got the template the right size!  I can't wait to do another shirt!!
