Busy Weekend Part 1 (Friday)

I'm finaly getting some time between feedings and cleaning to get this post in. It'll probably be a long one but here it goes...

First off, Fridays projects: Chloe and I decided to try some simple Sharpie tie-dye and here's the 'how-to' if you're interested...

Supplies:
Sharpie pens various colors
Rubbing alcohol
Rubber bands or hair elastics
T-shirt
Kool-Aid (for drinking ;) )

Step #1: Take your shirt and wrap the rubber bands around it traditional tie-dye style.
Step #2: Pick your colors and color each section with as much color as you can.

Step #3: Hang it up outside or if you live in an apartment you can hang it above a bucket you dont mind staining.
Step #4: Slowly pour the alcohol from the top of the shirt then alternate sides at the tops of the bands.

**Do this until you get your desired "bleed", this is entirely up to you! The excess alcohol will drip off, hence the need to do this outside or with a bucket. ;)







Step #5: Allow to dry completely! Then use a blowdryer, iron, or hot dryer to set the colors.

** COLORS WILL MOST LIKELY BLEED A LITTLE THE FIRST TIME WASHED! SO WASH IT BY ITSELF!**

The pinkish shirt is the one Chloe made, and I made the onesie for Vance. They turned out pretty good don't ya think? And of Chloe had a blast ;)

Later that night I decided to play around with this 'faux tie-dye' and made this little cutie for Vance to wear tomorrow at the Poteet Strawberry Festival!
