Rainy Saturday Tie-Dye
This is the first attempt, for all 3 of us. Major lessons learnt.
Saturday morning, down pour rain. We are stuck in the house for now. Kids have been asking for tie-dye, well mainly my daughter. My son could care less about tie-dye, haha. I got 2 kids t-shirts, light color as a canvas for our tie-dye project, one light yellow, one baby blue.
I got the tie-dye primary color set from Amazon.com, rolled up our sleeves, got kids equipped with gloves, craft paper on the floor, we got on it.
I helped them bundle the t-shirts up in a roll, sectioned them into 6 wedges using rubber bands. As expected, I did my homework, watched many how-to videos. In theory, I am a pro.
The end results? They are more like Halloween costume, crime scene shirts…
Lessons learned, I bought the spray on type, I should get the squirt on liquid, so the shirts will soak up more dye than just the surfaces of the folds. And don’t go stingy, just keep spraying, when in doubt, keep spraying, the entire shirt needs to be literally soaked. I will get more shirts and get squirt dye and make it right :p
