I, no, WE love Frozen. We love all things Frozen. We are addicted to Frozen. And Disney doesn’t have enough Frozen Merchandise. We see some t-shirts pop out here and there now. None of the original Frozen merch from November has been in the parks since before December. I would like to see some of it come back. The dresses are a HOT commodity in the parks. While Carson desperately wanted one, when we finally lucked into being in the right place at the right time, he changed his mind after he tried it on. The Elsa dress is VERY scratchy and for my Sensory sensitive (Autism Spectrum) kid, it was too much to handle.
After trying on the dress though, we did see two new Frozen t-shirts the parks are carrying. Both for girls technically. He didn’t care for them. Then at Target I happened upon two new Frozen shirts for Courtney for only $10!!!! But they didn’t have any boy shirts, so I decided to make some…
I love Oriental Trading Company, and I started perusing their site to see what they had to help me create some custom Frozen t-shirts. I was ECSTATIC to find the Tulip Glow in the Dark Spray Paint and my ideas sprang from there….
How to Make Frozen T-Shirts
You Need:
- T-Shirts (white works best)
- Crayola Fabric Markers or Sharpies (I Used Both)
- *Optional – if Kids are making them, use the Crayola Fabric Crayons! ($3.00)
- PDF Templates
- Glow in Dark Fabric Spray Paint – From Oriental Trading Company
- Scissors
- Double Sided Tape
PDF Templates HERE
Print the template you want to use. Place inside of shirt. Trace your design with either the Crayola Fabric Markers or your Sharpies. (This is best done in a bright room, but if you are having trouble seeing your template through the shirt, simply take your smart phone, turn on the flashlight and place under the shirt along the area you are tracing. It is like your own mini light box.)
Embellishing Your Frozen Shirt
Make it Glow – After you have traced your design on your shirt, colored in the areas you want and are all done with the marker portion. Take your template and do a rough cut out of it. Leave about a 1/4 of inch around it as you cut. Add double sided tape to the bottom and place on top of your design.
Now take your Glow in the Dark Spray Paint and hold it about 10 inches from your shirt and spritz. I stopped when the template was covered and curling. Yes there will be large chunks of spray that land on your shirt. I personally wanted that to happen as it makes it look like snow when it is glowing. If you don’t, then hold the spray bottle further back and make sure you are in front, spraying horizontally at your shirt, not over spraying down.
Cost of these shirts:
- Hanes T-Shirts at Michaels – $2.99 – $5.99
- Crayola Fabric Markers – $5.00
- Glow in Dark Spray Paint – $6.75
I would love to see any shirts you make, so please share on our Facebook Page

So cute! My son is loving Frozen! Of course his favorites, Olaf, Sven and Kristoff! Nice change of pace from all of the boy movies and super heros for mom!
These are awesome !!
These are so stinkin’ cute!
My draughts will be getting this if won and either one
My favorite is Olaf!
My family truly loves Frozen and it is so hard to pick one favorite character. If forced to choose 🙂 I’d have to go with Elsa. I love how she finally embraced who she was and found happiness in that. Both Elsa and Anna remind me of my 2 girls who are 9 & 6. And who doesn’t love Olaf. I’d melt for him! 🙂
Olaf is my favorite because he is so funny
My grand daughter of course!
My son would love the Olaf glow in the dark shirt
If we win, I’d give the shirt to my daughters. They are 9 and 6 and we have desperately been searching for Frozen shirts.
Anna is my fav- because she just so adorable when she was a kid
My son- which ever one it will fit- will get it
My daughter would get the shirt, Olaf is my favorite character..I love the “underdogs” 🙂
My kids would love it 🙂
If I was to win my son would get the shirt! He LOVES Frozen almost as much as Mickey Mouse!
I would give to a good friend of mine who has a kid. Olaf is my favorite.
I would give this to my son! And our favorite character is Olaf!
My niece Alexis will get this shirt to wear for her 6th bday party on April 9th!! She watches this movie everyday with her mom!!
Anna is my favorite
My daughter will get the shirt
My son would be the one who would get the shirt. My favorite character is Olaf. He is so funny!!!!!
I forgot to say Sven is my favorite character…probably because Disney does such a great job giving characters a voice, when they never say a word! And I’ll give it to a niece if I win!
My son would love one of these shirts!
My youngest daughter loves Frozen! She isn’t into the girly shirts, so these would be perfect!!!
And my favorite character is Olaf.
Very cute!
Of course, dd6 will get the shirt! And my favorite character is Elsa!
