Tie Dye

On our day for art camp, we tie dyed!  To prep, I prewashed our items.

Then we twisted and rubber-banded them.

The girls tie dyed tshirts, socks and bucket hats.

 Once the items were ready to tie, I soaked them in soda ash for 20 minutes while the girls played.

 Then they suited up and we broke out the dye!  The girls had a blast deciding where to squirt the colors.

I was surprised at how little mess there was!  While I cleaned up, the girls had a lunch of NOT SANDWICHES.

The shirts had to rest for twelve hours before I could wash them (so hard to wait!)

  so we delivered them to Molly and Kendall the next day.

We will definitely do this again-the tie dying was pretty simple and after searching for information online, I've found several other projects that I want to try!
