No-Sew Tie Dye Kimono

Kimonos are everywhere.
Every time I look in  a magazine I see a Kimono.
 This Kimono you can make

out of a XL men's T-shirt and some Tulip Tie-Dye .
I think I am going to use it as one of my beach cover ups.

Things you need

 XL T-shirt

Tulip Tie Dye

Scissors

2 Studs *Optional

  Cut up the middle of your shirt 

You are going to cut out a 4 inch section in the middle

and then cut around the collar.

 Your shirt will look like the picture above.

 Cut off the hem and then cut your fringe about 4 to 5 inches long.

 Stretch out your fringe.

 Accordion fold your shirt.

On the left side of the shirt rubber band 4 sections .

Then on the right  side rubber band 5 sections,

 in between what you rubber banded on the left

 Then rubber band again each section

 until you can not rubber band any more.

 Put a rubber band in the middle of the shirt.

 Fill up your dye to the line with warm water.

 Place your shirt into a bowl.

I used the turquoise color first and then the darker blue to fill any white left.

Place it in a zip lock bag.

 Let it sit over night.

Then rinse out until the shirt rinses clean and let dry.

 I placed a stud on the seam at the shoulder

so the seams would not come apart. 

If you do not have studs, 

You could glue this or hand stitch this as well.

 I love the pattern

 Looks like a skull with a crown.

 Tie dye is a fun and easy way to create all kinds of Fun designs
 on Shirts, Shorts, Shoes the possibilities are endless

It is always a surprise when you open it up

Every one of them comes out different.

Have a wonderful Week.

Lots of love.
