He sorted out how he wanted it to look and used elastics to "tie" it.
Put it in the dye pot.
Rinsed it out.
And hung it out to dry, he is quite pleased with how it turned out. I have a feeling this may be just the beginning...

Tie-dyed T-shirts
I have always loved to Tie-dye things, I have since I was little. When my boys were little I used to tie-dye their little t-shirts whenever they started looking too grubby or stained from food. It seems another member of my family may have inherited this love. W bought a white T-shirt at the thrift store this winter and, after a few uses noticed it had a spot that wouldn't wash out (he hasn't changed that much since he was a toddler after all). He decided he would use some of the black dye I had mixed up for another project (I found a very nice pair of Lululemon fleece yoga pants at a thrift store for $1 but they were a mauve colour and I prefer black) to dye his shirt.

That is so cool! We tried to tie-dye small pieces of muslin with our leftover easter egg dye but it didn't work. I think the muslin was a polyester...yikes!
I love tie-dye!
That shirt is awesome!
I just discovered your blog, looking forward to reading more! That shirt is very neat :)
I used to do some tie dying in my wild youth, ( A long time ago ha, ha.) This looks cool, cheers Marie
that shirt looks awesome! what a great idea for giving stained clothing new life.....hmmmmm!
I really need to get some dye, my boy has a lot of stained clothing. I've never done it before and I'm kind of nervous I'll accidentally spill dye all over the kitchen or something...
Hi Debbie- yes, you definitely want to make sure to be extra careful not to spill the dye (she says from some experience). ;-)
