Happy Valentine's Day! We are so excited to share this cool marbled t-shirt project with you today. We decided to use SEI Tie Dye in shades of red for this shirt and use a heart cut-out.
We are so happy with how it turned out. Want to make your own? This video shows you step-by-step how we did ours.
Do you like hearts? What shape would you use for a shirt like this? There are so many great options!
It's time to start gearing up for the holidays! Yay! We love this time of year... family, parties, food. It's all good! We decided to kick off the holiday season by making a special holiday shirt.
What do you think? We love how it turned out! It was really easy to do. All you need is a plain white t-shirt, white flock iron-on letters and tie dye. Other supplies you'll want to have are plastic to protect your surface (we used a garbage bag), iron, and hard-flat surface. This video shows the whole process...
We realized we hadn't created a video of using our galaxy tie dye kit. So, we made one for you! We are pretty happy with how the shirt turned out. It was super easy to do!
You can watch how we did it in the video below. We also want to share a few tips that will help you get the best results.
First off, make sure to keep some white space so your design doesn't become too muddy. The white space represents the starry areas of the galaxy. For our example, we used small pieces of paper towel balled up. Another thing we have used to mask off some white areas is rock salt (like you buy for making homemade ice cream).
Our second tip is to group the similar colors together. Spray the pinks and purple together in a group. Spray the blues and turquoise in a grouping. Then, go easy on the black intermixed throughout.
The last tip is to spray the glow-in-the-dark spray last, focusing on the lighter areas. The glow will show up best in the white and lighter areas.
We hope these tips help you create an amazing galaxy project!
We thought it would be fun to see what happens if you freeze SEI tie dye and let it melt on a damp shirt. Lucky for us our tie dye is water-based. So, this little experiment was possible.
We think the results are pretty cool. It reminds us of one of those neat speckled eggs. Perfect for springtime!
We froze the dye in ice trays and placed it on a scrunched up damp shirt. After the dye melted into the shirt, we scrunched it some more to create this effect.
Then, we air dried it flat and ironed it to make it permanent.
That's it! What do you think? Would you like to try some tie dye experiements?
We are so excited to make projects with our new tie dye kits! So, here are a couple of t-shirts we made with the cotton candy and playful pastel kits.
If you don't want a lot of white space, make sure to spray a little dye into the folds. We loved how it turned out!
What do you think of these new kits? What would you make with these colors?
I found these cute little canvas shoes. But, noticed they had a stain. So, I decided to dye them to cover up it up. I just used the primary 3-pack and allowed the colors to blend. What do you think?
The primary 3-pack and classic 8-pack are on sale this week for 20% off. They make great gifts!
Our neon tie dye kits are so vibrant and fun! Also, they are on SALE this week. 😀 So, we decided to make some tie dye shoes.
These were a lot of fun to make! All you need is some plain white canvas shoes. We picked these up at Walmart for about $13.
We lightly sprayed the shoes with water to help the colors blend. Then, painted on the dye. After we let them air dry, we heat set with a dryer and iron. To make them last even longer, we let them dry on a very hot day in the sun and sprayed them with shoe waterproofer.
What do you think? Would you wear them?
Summer clothes are on clearance where we live. So, we snatched up these white shorts to use with our new playful pastel tie dye kit (which is on sale this week, BTW).
We hope you have plans to go to the beach or pool this summer. Today we're sharing a simple way to customize a plain white towel into a cute tie dye beach towel.
First up, gather your supplies. We used our new perfectly pale tie dye kit, a plain white bath towel, and elastics.
This kit is on sale this week, along with our cotton candy pack. These are our two newest tie dye packs. We love the soft color combo.
Next, dampen your towel. Be sure to wring out access water. Then, accordion fold your towel and tie every few inches with elastics. Spray the dye on both sides and into some of the folds.
Remove the elastics and lay the towel flat to dry. Once the towel is completely dry, heat set it by ironing.
That's it! Pretty simple, right? You can make unique towels for each person in your family.
Now it's time to take your pretty towel to the beach!
We love fall! Maybe it's not typically the time you think of tie dye. But, we created this natural fade kit a while back and we love these colors for fall, especially the mustard, sage, and orchid.
Aren't these colors lovely?
Don't forget to iron to heat set the colors once it's completely dry to make them permanent.
We love how the t-shirt turned out and decided to do a little bag too.
The process is pretty much the same. But, instead of a spiral design, we tied this one in straight lines.
The last item we dyed was a plain white baseball cap. Instead of tying this, we sprayed the dye directly on the hat. Which project is your favorite?
We love doing fun holiday tie die projects. So, we decided to make some Halloween leggings this year.
Summer is the perfect time to try tie dye! Our tie dye kits are all ready to use. So, you can take your supplies out on the grass and have fun with your friends.
We hope you've had a wonderful summer! Check back again soon for more ideas.
