Tie Dyed






Yesterday I stopped in at the dollar store to get some carrot seed and potting soil. I saw white T-shirts there for a dollar of course. I remembered the old boxes of RIT dye I had gotten free in a box of stuff from someone who was moving.

I bought four white shirts and when I came home, started the pots of water to boil, necessary to tie dye. I love how they came out. To create stripe, I tied the shirt in varing widths of cloth strips. For the circles, I tied off quarters with zip ties and twist ties. I might get a couple more dollar shirts today, since I have two other boxes of dye. They must be used!
