Tie-Dye Tuesday

Literally the last time I tie-dyed was in college for a sisterhood, it's been so long. One day I was walking down the craft aisle and spotted the colorful array of Tulip Tie-Dye kits and just had to have them! But then I thought...it would be a little boring if I just sat outside dying articles of clothing all by myself, so I invited some friends over & we made a play date out of it! Reed even helped me with fun snacks like rainbow goldfish & fruit kabobs. I'm so sad I didn't get as many pictures as I would like, but when you're the hostess and you're trying to make sure the kiddos are happy, things don't always go as planned. That's ok, we had fun!

This sounds silly, but whenever we do a craft project that is going to need a lot of space and get messy, I always go to Walmart and stock up on the $2.00 waterproof shower curtains. They're so much cheaper than using the real deal paint protectors from Home Depot, and so much bigger than using a trash bag. I keep lots on hand for those pretty days to take outside and do fun messy projects with - we just toss them when we're done.

 The cool thing about tie-dye is that you can literally dye anything - and trust me we were. There were baby bows, baby headbands, onesies, shirts, leggings, dresses, shorts, and more. And it doesn't have to be all white either. For example, Allie did a cute white shirt that had a glittery image on it, and it turned out so cute. Another one of my favs were the Aden + Anais (the best) swaddle blankets, they turned out insanely dreamy.

Everyone's pieces turned out SOO good, I'm slightly obsessed. Some of mine kind of look like one big blob of color (like Owen's tank) but still - it's a one of a kind. I even went back and dyed a few more things after it was over. What other fun things would you tie-dye?
