Tie Dye Tips 

Tie dye is a great way to keep kids busy and creative all summer long! Here are a few tips:

  • Take advantage of the warmer weather and tie dye outside. This makes for a much easier clean up, and allows for some fun in the sun!
  • Buy a white sheet to set down on the ground to tie dye on. Not only does this contain the mess, over time, the sheet will become colorful enough to use for picnics!
  • Once your tie dye projects are finished, let them sit for 24 hours before washing out the dye. This allows for more vibrant colors!
  • Keep plastic gloves and bags in your car over the summer. This way you will always be prepared for fun with tie dye!
  • Whenever you see white tees, tanks, or tote bags on sale, buy them, and save them for tie dye. This will save you a trip to the store before a last minute tie dye party or event!
