The next day he went out and bought 6 white plain t-shirts and even found one of his for the kids to dye for me as a pajama shirt! He meant serious business with this tie dye.
After dinner one night he and the kids taped a garbage bag to the table, set out all the tie dye and began their fun.
The kids thought this was the BEST time ever. They were so excited to see how everyone's shirts would turn out. They showed him where to tie the elastics and put all colors on themselves.
He let them sit over night and the next morning one by one each went into the washer to rinse, then wash.. They all turned out pretty darn cute if you ask me!
Jackson didn't want to do his shirt until a few days later, I still haven't gotten a photo of him wearing it though. But SO cute!
They even made me a shirt AND pajama capri's. How colorful and cute are these?
Jordan also dyed a Muslin swaddle blanket for Justin, and it turned out AMAZING!
I was at Michael's again the other day and different boxes of tie dye were there for $9.99 so I grabbed one. It rang up at $2.99 so we grabbed 4 boxes, and will save for future fun! It wasn't as messy as we thought and the fun the kids had makes the retro colors so much more fun!

ReplyDeleteTie-dye is so much fun! I tie-dyed some of Scarlett's boring white onesies when she was a baby. They turned out fab, and was such an easy process.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that tie dye shirts are making a comeback. I loved making them and wearing them when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThose are really adorable and they turned out so well. My kids are adults but I think that it would be fun to do a project like this at a family get together some time. Something different and creative and something they can take home to remember the day.

ReplyDeleteWhoa now that is totally creative - and it looks really great - awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe had a girl's party and made tye die shirts last year! It was awesome! My daughter had a lot of fun, but doesn't like to wear her shirt. I can't figure out why. I think its awesome!
