DIY Tie Dye Denim Shirt


I had my first go at tie dye t-shirt crafting in fourth grade. Here's the adult version:

You’ll need:
•a denim shirt
•bleach
•rubber bands
•rubber gloves
•plastic container




If your shirt is new, you should wash it before getting to work.  Crumple and bundle your shirt with rubber bands. Pour 3 quarts bleach and 3 quarts water into the tray.  Using protective gloves,  place your shirt in the tray. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes.

Remove the shirt and rinse thoroughly with water. (Review the complete instructions and images at Honestly WTF).
I love the result! It looks like clouds in a sky. I'd pair the shirt with peach colored jeans.
