Tie Dye Party

Autumn has put a Team together, for the 4 mile walk to benefit the Juvenal Diabetes Research Foundation ... JDRF. Her team is Team Tie Dye ... (There is still time to donate! :)

(The pot full of tie dye t-shirts)

On Sunday the kids got together to die their T- Shirts for Team Tie Dye....It was great fun and we ended up with some beautiful t-shirts!!

We did the T's the way I always have...although for some this was a first.

HERE IS HOW I DO IT:

Tightly Twist the T (say that 3 times fast) where you want the die Not to penetrate, then use a rubber band to secure it....These spots will be where your circles are.

Then put it in the first die bath...I do it on my stove and almost boil the water.

The color tends to fade so make sure the color is nice and dark before you take them out!!

Rinse until water is clear.

Take off bands and re twist.....adding new circles (these will stay the color of your first die bath).

Put in second Die bath

Rinse and TA-DA your done!

REMEMBER TO WASH SEPARATELY THE FIRST FEW TIMES YOU WASH THEM!!
