TIE-DYE

Okay, first I just have to say that those two little words are such a pain in the buuuuuuutttt to spell. Tie-die, tye-dye, tye-die... really? I got this idea that I NEEDED to try tie-dyeing at around the end of May when I made a little summer to-do list. So for the past two and a half weeks I've been telling my parents I have to get a kit!.. and so me and pops searched seriously, all over town and no kits ANYWHERE. Have I mentioned my town is a bit of a fail? So finally on Sunday.. yesterday, me and my mom drove to the next town over and we got lots of fun shtuf :D

12 COLOURS. RADICAL.

Sooo. I set everything up and figured it couldn't be that hard. I mean, I'm a fairly artistic person.. and I was pretty confident I had this project in the bag. So I set up all the stuff. It even came with this big tarp thing which I didn't understand why it was so big. I figured I'd use a quarter of it, MAYBE.

 Well I was out on the deck in the hotness for a couple hours getting all 3 of my white shirts done, as well as 2 pairs of socks. To be honest, I thought it was going to turn out to be a COMPLETE fail. All the colours were smushed together and it looked like a big, black, wet, icky situation. But I wrapped them up anyway and then I came back to the deck and saw this...

          Yeah, I said my famous line when I saw it too.. "oh my goodness".
lol it was scary! But thankfully it was a pretty easy cleanup. Considering almost all the dye stayed on the tarp, all I had to do was roll it up and put it in a bag. But then there was still some dye on the deck, and I had one of those 'uh oh' moments, what if it doesn't come off? But it did :)


 And then I came inside and spent
half an hour trying to deal with this.

Yeah, stupid dye got ALL over me! So I got most of the purple and pink off, but now I look like an avatar. I guess I'll have some explaining to do at guitar tomorrow.. so uh, tip: wear gloves that don't get holes in them, and when you think "it'll come off, no biggie", remember you're wrong.

AND FINALLY! at 11:30 tonight I decided to rinse them out, and you know what? They looked AWESOME. Way better than I expected. hahaha, I think this activity is pretty much fool proof. So if you're debating whether or not to do it, DO IT! because it's super fun to do on a nice day and you get some stinkin sweet shirts out of it.  You'll be obsessed just like me and want to tie-dye everything :)
