Tie Dye Q

[schlepsnort]

My DS came home from day camp and they had made tie dye t-shirts. Before I wash it in our washer isn't there another step that I have to do to prevent the colors from running out into the washer?

It's been a very long time since I've done tie dye.

I also remember reading somewhere on the boards of a family who was able to tie dye mickey silhouette on shirts for their trip. Anyone know how to do this? I would love to do this so we have matching shirts for one day at the parks. So much easier to keep track of the kids when we all match.

Thanks!

I think a bit of salt helps, actually. And wash 'em separately for a few loads.

I remember the tie-dye mickeys...if someone can find that link, I would be so happy! They're so cool!

I just watned to say that my kids loved making these! And we were them around after the parks! We bought a kit to do it because it came with the rubber bands and dye and soaking stuff, but we ran out and had to buy more. It was actually cheaper not to buy the kit!

Thank you TarzansKat for posting that link! I was hoping to do this project this summer with the kids. Perfect!

You're welcome, guys! I actually have it bookmarked in case I'm brave enough to try it for our next trip.

Which really means begging DH to help me!
