Tie Dye Fun

This past Saturday, my girls and I decided to do a little "tie-dying"!!!

A very MESSY craft but definitely a FUN one with friends,

especially when you throw in a little 80's music to go with...

~~~

My dear friend, Kristen, was the hostess!

She supplied the "know how", dye and rubber bands!

Myself, Crystal and Lisa attempted to get the shirts prepared...

Now for the MESSY part....

~~~

When using more than one color, you find that it is very

difficult not to mix them. Although I am sure with a few more

sessions, we could become some tie-dying "pros"! the 6 hour wait!

There should be another picture here...

One that would have you laughing...

but I didn't quit think about having my picture taking

when I was standing out in the rain holding an umbrella

in one hand and a hose in the other....

Getting soaked while trying to get all the dye out till the water was clear!

You see, I was scared to attempt rinsing them out in the sink, having the

fear of seeing my off white sink turn into a mix of colors.

After having a VERY frustrating moment, I brought them in and

finished in the sink. And all along, it would have been OK.

The sink was clear of any stains!

Well 4 out of the 5 I attempted, turned out alright!

And to show you a few, here are my adorable, little

"Tie-Dye" Models!!!

A GREAT craft for some FUN, summer play shirts!
