Tie Dye Monster Shirts

This is the second summer in a row that C and R have made tie dye tee shirts.  This year, my sister was visiting from upstate NY and was able to help with the dye process.  It was a good thing she did, because I could not figure out the directions on how to wrap the shirts and how to place the rubber bands.

C used red, yellow, and blue dye, and R used pink, purple, and green dye.  The kit we used came from Wal-Mart; everything was included except the tee shirts.

I love C's bedhead in this photo!

Here are the cool shirts C and R made:

The colors and designs came out really cool!  We are very happy with the results.

We didn't stop there though.  Auntie Karen brought make your own monster iron-on art (she purchased them on clearance from Michael's) and we figured they would look really cool on the tie dye shirts.  Here is an Amazon link to similar monster iron-on art from the same company.

C and R both had fun with this.  After I ironed on the bodies, they were able to choose different pieces to create their own monsters.  Then I ironed those in place.

Another fun item checked off on the Summer Bucket List!
