Dyeing To Tie!

Everywhere you turn lately you can see brilliant color! From back yard parties to the runway, Target to Nordstrom, it’s making a huge comeback. I’m talking about tie- dye. Those brightly colored rainbow garments that bring a smile to your face and fun to the day! The patterns range from the classic swirl to stripes, spider-web designs to a multitude of pictures. Tie-dye is popping up on all types of clothing also! It can be seen on tee shirts, shorts, socks and dresses on all kinds of material ranging from cotton to silk. It can also be seen on bedroom sets and different home furnishings. There is no stop to where you can see this ever-popular trend! Nobody has an excuse to not join in the fun of this hippy style coming back on the scene. Even men can buy ties, or if they are so inclined, make their own.

Not only can you buy any trendy tie-dye item you want, it’s a cinch to make it yourself at home, and you no longer have to use the old school dye that has to be boiled or squirt your dye from a bottle. You can buy fabric paint at any craft store in a can and spray it directly on your canvas like spray paint! There are millions of how-to sights when you google “tie-dye” and thousands of videos on sights like ‘YouTube’. So join in the fun!! Everybody should have at least one tie dyed piece of clothing in their wardrobe, whether it’s bought, or self-made, step out in this retro style with pride!
