Tie Dye Fun

a few YEARS ago, Blaine's cousins Paige and Ryker (and aunt juie and uncle t.jay) gave him a tie dye kit for his birthday or christmas and we have always wanted to use it, but never got around to it. the kit ended up at the back of the closet and unfortunately forgotten about. WELL, that is one of the perks of moving...)for those of you who didn't know...we are moving on saturday)....we found the kit and since Blaine was home sick from school, we decided to give it a try!

we decided to make a heart pillow and a onsie for Ty....because of course TY needs a TIE dye shirt!!! it was really simple, and kid friendly. we just tied the strings (that have the dye in them)

then you soak in HOT salt waterooooo, color starting to come throughafter 15 minutes you then untie and rinse under COLD waterthen hang in the sun to dry! only in california can we get away with this in the beginning of februaryTAAAA-DAAAAAHHHH! ty loves his shirtand Blaine wants to give the pillow to his teacher at school for Valentine's day! very sweet! ...it's almost kind of creepy that the heart kind of looks like a real heart with the blue "vein" going through! haha, oh well!! this was such a fun and easy project!
