The shirts sort of faded when I washed them, but I could no longer take the "can we look at our shirts now?" "Can we look at our shirts now?" Can we look at our shirts now?" on and on and on again, every 5 minutes for like 10 hours. So, we should have let the dye set for at least another day, but hey, my sanity and the children's health preceeded really, REALLY cool shirts. <BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure I made the right choice.<BR/><BR/>It would definitely be fun with a group (5 kids qualify us as being allowed to say that)however, unless you want tie-dyed kids and furniture and clothes and any other animate and inanimate object you might want to let the 2-3 year olds help you tie up the shirts and point out where they want each color and let the Moms/Dads do the rest. I made one all by myself later in the day and still managed to get it on my hands and I thought I was quite buttoned up with the entire process. Actually, untying and washing the excess dye out with the garden hose was a huge mess. It was fun to have the gallery of tie-dying experts sitting on the deck stairs and letting out their collective "OOOHH"s and "AAHHHH"s as I held up each shirt. <BR/><BR/>But we will definitely do it again. We learned a few tricks (as exhibited by my shirt...Seth said "oh come on now...why'd you have to go and get all professional on us?")so next time we'll be a force to be reckoned with. <BR/><BR/>But we all had fun. Definitely worth the mess. And almost worth trying to explain to the grocery store folks why your hands are some creepy fuschia color.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070912455090787382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495956548117541559.post-19363670884681804902008-07-22T16:31:00.000-07:002008-07-22T16:31:00.000-07:00Great pictures!

How great to be done with braces.<BR/><BR/>I've been wanting to tie-dye shirts! How did it go? Would it be fun to do with a group of friends (2-3 year olds), or would that be a nightmare?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844225862211973854noreply@blogger.com
