A couple weeks ago I helped organize a sleepover for the girls in junior high at our church. We needed some sort of activity (other than eating Double Stuf Oreos and watching movies, that is) so I thought for a bit and decided that tie dyeing would be an easy and inexpensive crafty type thing that all the girls could participate in. We ended up spending hours in the garage soaking tee shirts in buckets filled with brightly colored water, and now I want to tie dye everything in sight. Here's what you need to throw your own tie dye party...
Once you have all your supplies just follow the instructions on the inside of the Rit box. We (obviously) used the bucket method which is simple and involves no risk of dyeing the kitchen floor. As long as you don't bring the bucket in the kitchen. In case you were wondering, the colors we used were sunshine orange, lemon yellow, fuchsia, teal, and purple. Have you ever tried tie dyeing anything? It's one of my favorite things.

ReplyDeleteOmg, this is brilliant. I've done this once when I was a girl scout YEARS ago but this could be a really good activity even now
ReplyDeleteLet's do it!
ReplyDeleteSoda Ash prior to tie dying is very helpful in getting the color to stick:) Also setting the shirt in a bag for 24 hours while still wet from the dye!! So much fun we do it just about every summer!
