Tie Dye Week. !!

This is the week that we would be tie dyeing for field day.  So we will stay with our normal, lets dye some shirts. St. Therese is a place where we support each other as a community, we share in our triumphs and bond in our struggles, which is why I love this school so much. This year I would like to celebrate the family of St. Therese and a particular family to let them know we are all supporting them in their journey.. So the colors this year are go grey and a little pink to make us smile!

There are short videos going through the steps of tie dye.  You will need two buckets for the dye color, rubber bands or string to tie the shirts, 100% cotton shirts, either Tulip or RIT Dye, and Sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol for the option 2 method of dyeing.

    Traditional Method

I did go back when I got home, re-tied this shirt and put it in the dye longer for a deeper color.  Left in overnight in the ziplock bag and rinsed until no color came out in the rinse water before hanging out to dry.  This is the end result.  before I wear it , I will wash one more time ( do NOT wash with any other clothes ) and dry in the dryer

Sharpie Method

 Spiral Tie and colored the back with Sharpie Markers

 Opposite side colored with Sharpie Markers and Heart 

Poured Rubbing alcohol on one side and then flipped over doing the same.  Let this sit overnight and hung outside to dry
