Tye Dye Tradition

As the end of summer approaches, we have a tradition at our house: we tye dye t-shirts. It's easy and inexpensive. I bought the t-shirts and tye dye kit at Wal Mart for under $25.00.

The children always look forward to it, and I do, too. I always encourage each of them to make up their own design. And it's always exciting to cut off the rubber bands to reveal the design they made.

Since I'm the one who puts the dye on the shirts, there aren't any photos of the process; only a photo of the finished products....

You can see the different design on each shirt...reflecting the different personality of each child. I love it!  :)

Have a blessed day,

    Awesome! We love tye-dye! It's been a while since we've done it, we might need to add it to our schedule sometime!

    Love how the shirts turned out! We've never tie-dyed anything, but this looks like a fun project.

    How cool! I have never been courageous enough to try tie-dye, but I really really want to! I love how your kids' shirts turned out. Perhaps I will go for it!

    Thanks for visiting my site!
