DIY Pinch and Twist Technique

 This DIY Pinch and Twist Beach Cover-up Shirt can be created in under ten minutes!  As a fair skinned gal, I always cover up at the beach and often with a large men's shirt.  They're comfy, cool and can be worn in the water.  It was super easy to give this plain white shirt a little pizzazz with Tulip Fabric Spray.  This is a whole new way to approach tie dye, using a spray instead of a bottle and your finger tips instead of rubber bands.

100% cotton man's shirt

1.) Make sure your shirt is pre-washed to remove sizing.  2.)  Grasp shirt in spot where you want to center your pinch and twist.  Twist shirt in a clockwise direction.  3.)  Hold silver spray 12" from shirt and give it a few spritzes.  4.)  Repeat to make three total pinched sections.  5.)   Repeat with gold spray turning your twists counter clockwise. 6.) Repeat a final time using pink spray and turning clockwise.  7.)  Allow shirt to dry for 72 hours before washing and 4 hours before wearing.
