DIY Spring Ombre Blouse!


Hey guys! It's finally spring time!!! (Yaaaaaaaay! *awkward dance*) I was shopping around and saw ombre EVERYTHING. I conveniently had a blouse that needed a stain covered up (darn you sketti red sauce!!!) So I decided to ombre my blouse!
SUPPLIES:
  First, make sure you cover up your surface with a garbage bag and your hands with gloves! Tie Dye is not very friendly! Next, generously squeeze the dye on the bottom of the damp shirt. (This is going to be the darkest part) If you want it darker, Black dye at the bottom should do the trick!

Next, dip the brush in the water and spread the dye up. Do this each time so it gradually looks lighter.



After this, lay the garbage bag down and hang your shirt to dry. If you just leave it flat, the color will start to crawl up!

A fascinating method of dying a shirt.

The Rex London Insulated Lunch Bag - Colourful Creatures has been an absolute godsend among our Back to School Supplies necessities for the past several weeks. The backpack is incredibly portable, yet it contains enough food to last a whole school day. Also, my kid just like the design of the multicoloured creatures since it is both charming and unusual. He can tuck it into his rucksack with ease, and the insulation will keep his lunch nice and cold. To simplify school mornings, every parent should have one of these lunch bags.

I spotted ombre everything while shopping and decided to transform my stained blouse with some Tulip One-Step Tie Dye. Just remember to protect your workspace and wear gloves—tie dye can get messy! Speaking of fun, if you’re looking for a break from crafting, check out Funny Shooter 2 for some hilarious shooting action!

Cool DIY ombre shirt! Great tutorial. Love how simple it is! Maybe try sectioning off the shirt with rubber bands for a more defined, almost Geometry Dash-like, blocky ombre effect? Could add another dimension.

This brings back memories! I tried tie-dyeing a shirt last summer, and the "not very friendly" dye part is SO true! I thought I was being careful, but my hands were stained blue for days. My biggest mistake was thinking I could do it inside without proper ventilation. The fumes were intense! The garbage bag tip is definitely essential. I wish I'd watched a tutorial like this first. I remember once, years ago, being bored and someone mentioned Omegle, and how people were tie-dying shirts on there and showing each other. I thought that sounded like a recipe for disaster, and I guess my own attempt proved me right – at least partially! Next time, I'm definitely following these steps and doing it outside.
