So I set those aside and used the third biggest crystal in the box as my “biggest” size. If you’re using the exact same box of crystals I linked to above, I found the two largest sizes in the box were TOO big.
Step 3: Separate the rhinestones by size. Once the right size, using painters tape, tape the template to the middle of your shirt to keep it in place. To find the desired size for your top, you may need to re-size, print, and hold up to your shirt a few times to get it right. Step 2: Re-size and print out the Mickey template and cut out. Here are the directions if you want to make your own! I also think this design would also look super cute on a tote bag! One thing to keep in mind: The rhinestones may come loose and/or fall off over time, so this shirt is not intended for young kids. In hindsight, I wish I had simply bought a tank top in the first place! So think about the weather and your comfort when designing your shirt. This top actually started as a short sleeve shirt, but as the Expo approached and temps were slated to be in the high 90s, I cut off the sleeves and widened the neck! The shirt is a men’s shirt, so I had to sew simple darts in the chest area to make it fit a little better.
The total cost was under $20 with coupons! It took me a whole afternoon because I was very particular about my rhinestone placement, but I love how it turned out and I got so many compliments when I wore it at the Expo. The official park merchandise is so expensive but I wanted to wear something blingy! I made this with a dark blue t-shirt and a box of crystal jewels, both from Michael’s. For the D23 Expo this year I wanted to make a special shirt that also fit with the Disneyland 60 Diamond Celebration theme.
