Disney Blog Hop

Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

Disney and crafting are a magical combination, and we are so happy you joined us to day for this blog hop.  Some of the crafters participating in this event have been doing this together since 2011!  Over the years the hop has grown but one thing has always stayed the same . . . amazing crafting projects that feature your favorite characters from Disney and Pixar movies.

For 2016 we are going to attempt to have a hop every other month for the entire year . . . February, April, June, August, October and December.  If you are on Facebook you can like the group page so that you can be the first to learn about each upcoming event.  Just click HERE to go the the Facebook page.

To make sure you don't miss any of the fun, be sure to start at Shawn's blog to see all of the projects.  Just click HERE to head over to her blog and then follow the hop line up at the bottom of the post to see everyone's projects.

I just returned from a trip to Walt Disney World January 7th and want to go back already!!!  I got to see my friend Melissa Allore who was an original participant in this blog hop!

Before we left for Disney World, I wanted to decorate my Magic Band.  I grabbed the band from the last trip and practiced on that one first.

I took a fine tip paint pen and traced the Mickey head.  It was a little plain but better than blank.  I colored it in white (not pictured) but the paint did not cover well.  I was afraid it would rub off.  So back to Pinterest I went.

I found this Mickey headband image and traced it with my Silhouette Program and cut it out in black 651 vinyl.  I added my initial in a fun font.  Not every L looks good so I had to find one that I liked and fit the space well.

Tanner wanted his done too.

After 11 days at WDW, my Magic Band looked the same.  Tanner's T peeled off around day 9 - it lasted longer than I thought it would!!

My next project was inspired by a shirt that popped up on Shawn's newsfeed.  I traced the hand and used a font from my computer to create this shirt out of HTV (heat transfer vinyl) and my heat press!  My husband can wear it on our next trip!!! 

Here are some of our favorite pictures from this trip.  I kind of miss waiting in line to meet the Characters.  Tanner is 10 now and prefers riding the rides.  The only characters we saw were the Star Wars Characters and the ones at our two character breakfasts.

Before you go, make sure to enter to win our prize for this hop . . . a Disney paper pack from Queen & Co. 

The paper stack will not even be shipping out to stores until late February 2016, so you can have it before the stores are even selling it!  Note: Due to the fact that we received this paper stack so early, it is considered a promotional proof and there could be some slight variations from what will be shipped to stores.

Baby Onesie T-Shirts

I got a new toy - a heat press!!  I am having tons of fun creating little shirts for babies!!!  Here are some of my latest:

From one of my favorite books!

This is for my friend - her husband is a police officer and they are expecting a boy!

Every boy needs cool shades!

I just love the "Hello I'm new here" shirts!

I have a new Facebook Group with all of my crafty items.  If you are interested in them, you can check it out HERE.

100 Days of School Shirt

These two cuties were in my daycare for 5 years!!  They are now in school and mom asked me to make them shirts for the 100th day of school.  I do not have a heat press so I used freezer paper to make a stencil.

I made this design using a font from my computer and some circles.  Mom wanted red and blue so I mocked this up for her to see.

I cut out the image (after I reversed it) using freezer paper.  I put the paper down shiny side up.  I used the Vellum setting on my Cameo.

I carefully ironed the freezer paper on the shirt.  ***HINT fold the shirt in half lengthwise and press so you have a center line.  Then fold your template in half and match up your folds.  This will center the design on your shirt. 

I used red and blue fabric paint and sponge brushes to paint the shirt. 

Once the paint is dry I peeled the template off. 

Here is the final project!

It looks cuter on William and Mallory!!!  Happy 100th Day of School!!

Halloween T-Shirts

We are headed to the pumpkin patch today for our annual field trip.  I thought it would be fun to make some shirts.  The witch came from A Child's Year.

I cut the images on Freezer Paper.  Freezer paper is shiny on one side and dull on the other.  You flip your image and cut shiny side up.  Put the negative piece (the stencil) shiny side down on your clean t-shirt and iron on.  I spent about 1 - 2 minutes ironing.  Paint with fabric paint and a sponge brush.  Let dry then pull off the freezer paper.

The bat came from Paper Doll Dress Up.

The pumpkin and face came from Pumpkin Carving.  The face is one of the square images.

The kids got to paint their own shirts.  I used Tulip fabric paint that can be found at Michaels or Wal-Mart.  For the pumpkins, once the orange paint is dry, iron the pumpkin face template on and paint with black paint.

Here is me peeling off the freezer paper.

And here is my shirt ~ fitting some days!!!

T-Shirt Bling

I bought this t-shirt on vacation.  I thought it was pretty, but it was missing something......so I added some iRock candy!!  I used the iRock pre-glued crystals with my Jolee's Jewels heat setter.

Here are some close ups.  I used yellow, turquoise and clear crystals to add some bling to my flowers.

After hearing some complaints about the battery powered iRock tool, I decided to try the corded tool made by Jolee's.  I found mine at Michaels in the bead section.

Here is a final look at my completed project.  I hope you like it!
