JUMP ON 2021’S HOTTEST DIY TREND One of the biggest fashion trends we’ve seen so far in 2021 is the reemergence of tie-dye! What may seem like a retired style now reserved exclusively for camp activities and middle school projects, is now making its way back into the mainstream. If you want to jump on the trend, but maybe haven’t done tie-dye since you were a kid, we’ve got you covered! Tie-dye is an easy at-home activity that only takes a few supplies, and you can even get your kiddos involved! There are endless ways to tie dye your clothes and you can tie-dye just about anything, but we are focusing on the classic spiral tie-dye shirt!
White shirt made of 100% natural fibers: 100% white cotton is best. You can use another color, but white will give the most vibrant results! The natural materials like cotton or rayon will also ensure that the dye absorbs into the fabric properly. TIE DYE KIT: You can pick one up at Walmart or online! It should come with everything you need, but if not, you will need: • Rubber bands • Gloves • Dye powder • Squeeze bottles for the dye mixture • Water • 1 gallon size resealable plastic bag per each item you’re tie dying (a trash bag works too)
