So I had purchased a white terry cloth swimsuit cover up for myself and a white T-shirt for the granddaughter and we prepared to tie-dye both of them. Let the fun begin!
We got a 3-color tie-dye
kit from WalMart for $9.99, laid out trash bags to protect the counter top and put aprons on to protect our clothes. I pleated and rubber banded my cover up and she decided to freehand her T-shirt.
I did find out that it's pretty much impossible to take pictures without getting dye on your hands while removing your plastic gloves and putting them back on.
The instructions said to wrap the items in plastic wrap and leave them for 6 to 8 hours. It nearly killed us, but we were able to wait 6 hours. :o Then wash them in the hottest water possible.
And voila!!! Or should I say, "Wow, man..." The finished product is fun and colorful and you can actually wear it. And now I can cross tie-dye off my bucket list.

Dude......!!!! Totally gnarly shirts, man. Sweetie, you are an amazing artist! I love you! Tye-die DOES seem to come back a lot. Bob's company decided everyone at the company picnic should have matching shirts once - they were blue and white tye-die. With hundreds of people walking around in them, it looked like a storm-tossed lake. Hard not to get sea-sick. Maybe that's what the marijuana is for! : )
Psychadelic!!!!!!!! Makes me yearn for incense and peppermint! Now I've added tie-dye to MY bucket list!
Hubby was flabbergasted when he read that I had tie-dye on my bucket list. Not really ... that's why it's funny!
Wow, I can actually picture the sea of blue and white tie-dye shirts. Marijuana, dramamine, whatever. :-)
