Hello seven thirty three readers! It’s Heather from Twin Dragonfly Designs back again with another cute boy project. We are taking our twin boys to Disneyland this year so I have been creating a few fun t-shirts to wear during our trip. And of course we are huge Star Wars fans so what could be better than a Mickey Mouse Star Wars T-shirt?
The first thing that you need to create these t-shirts are Jolee’s Transfer Sheets from Michaels. They were about $10 for 5 sheets with my 40% off coupon. I highly recommend using the transfer sheets for Dark Fabric ~ the quality of the transfer with these is amazing!
Be sure to set your printer to the transfer sheet setting with the best quality selected. You will also want to make sure that you have enough ink to completely print each image. I had an image fade out which wasted one of the transfer sheets.
I purchased all of these super cute mickey head digital images from Swirly Color Pixels on Etsy. Michelle even designed Angry Bird mickey heads for me. Our boys are going to love them!
Here is R2D2 Mickey on transfer paper. You wan to cut each image out and peel off the backing. These image transfers did not require flipping or altering the digital image but make sure you check your transfer sheets ~ some have you flip the image before printing.
Here is R2D2 Mickey having been ironed onto the t-shirt. The color and detail is amazing! I was beyond happy with the quality of these transfers!
C3PO for Cam.
R2D2 for Isaiah.
Ewok for me.
Boba Fett for my husband {upon his request ~ honestly it was his idea! lol}
Thanks for reading ~ I hope that you will stop by Twin Dragonfly Designs for more boy projects and tutorials!
I love Disney and Star Wars! These are adorable!

I want to make these for a Disney trip, my husband only agreed to wear one if there was a Darth Vadar one…. you by chance have a Darth?
You can get it through the Etsy shop that designed them: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SwirlyColorPixels?ref=custom_order_convo
I am getting ready to make these for our Disney trip coming up in a couple of weeks. I bought the images from Swirly Color Pixels – she even customized a few things for me! My question is what kind of printer did you use? Our color printer is not a laser printer and is not color fast. Will that be an issue when printing on the transfer paper? Thanks!
You can buy the transfer paper for inkjet printers. The printed portion is ironed against the shirt so no worries about the ink running. 🙂
Are you able to wash these?
Yes, the iron on transfer material use on the shirts is made to be washed!
Getting ready to make the shirts for our trip next week. Thanks for the etsy shop! Now…how did you cut the shapes so perfectly. Just cut carefully?
That’s exactly right!
