Yesterday I did something I had never done before- experimented with Tie Dye. I had no idea how to tie dye, but this project was as easy as it gets. I just followed the directions on the back of the Rit dye box- and since I was using an old, stained shirt of Leah’s, I knew I couldn’t mess it up!
If you don’t want to get stuck doing all the work, then save this craft for older kids. Mine were too young to do it themselves, but I knew that going into it. That doesn’t mean they didn’t have fun though- look how happy they are with a bag of rubber bands and some salad tongs!!!
…and of course Leah is just loving her “new shirt!” The smile on this girly girl’s face makes this craft an absolute success!
