Tie-Dye Reveal

Here are SOME of the items we created along with a few words of advice for tie-dying . . .

Don't do over a dozen items at a time. (It's easy enough to put caps on bottle of dye and clean up work station. It's TOO much work rinsing and washing multiple items.)

Put children to work in the beginning as they tire of working quickly.  Also, socks you never could get white after child wore them outside in the mire and muck come in quite useful when your child wants to tie dye multiple things.

Get directions or watch how-to videos for difficult patterns like an earth (see upper left for attempt from a picture found online). Also difficult patterns are for older children and adults, not elementary children.  Found a couple how-to videos for Mickey (bottom right) -- turned out really well! 

Lastly, tie-dying takes lots of patience and lots of rubber bands!
