DIY Under Sleeve Tie-Dye Top

Tie-dying is definitely one of the best DIY activities ever created. It's fun and can be used in so many ways. Another benefit of tie-dying is that you will always be original, but that is basically a benefit from all DIY's. Tie-dye is special because you can experiment with original prints.

Stuff you need:

Plain white tee

Rubber bands

Dye

1. Collect fabric beneath the sleeve of the tee.

2. Dye the fabric then remove the neck.

This is a close-up of the print. Have fun tie-dying!

DIY Block Print Tie-Dye

Before I begin I have to admit that this tie-dye was a fluke. When I started I didn't know what I was doing or how I was going to do it. I only knew it was going to be a tie-dye. So that's the reason why it's called 'block print tie-dye', I wasn't sure what to call it. But it is pretty cool right?

Stuff you need:

T-shirt

Dye

Rubber bands

1. Lay out your t-shirt

2. Roll one half of the shirt diagonally

3. Roll the other half inwards

4. Tie several rubber bands along the entire roll

5. According to the instructions on the dye packet, dye the rolled up t-shirts

Remove the rubber bands and dry the shirt. I cut off the collar and shortened my t-shirt because it was a large mens size.

Is this amazing or what?

A Day Of DIYing + 4 DIY's

My friend and I had been planning this day for so long! We had a whole list of things planned but only managed to really finish 4. We actually spent 2 whole days DIYing: a day, a night and another day. But it was so much fun! Below are the results and how to make them.

The DIY Tie Dye Top

Stuff you need:
Plain t-shirt
Dye
Rubber Bands

1. Bunch up a bit of the shirt.
2. Tie a rubber band at the bottom of the bunched up bit.
3. If you want you can add 1 or 2 more rubber band to a few of the bunched up bits.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 and cover up the entire shirt.
5. According to instructions in your dye packet dye the fabric.
6. Once the fabric is dry remove the rubber bands and iron.

I really love this method of tie-dye because it is so much more wearable than the multicolored ones, yet still fun to make.

The DIY High-Waisted Dress

We found this amazing tutorial at Talk To The Trees. Below are just a few photos showing how we made the dresses.

The DIY Adjustable Ring 
Stuff you need:
Water hose grip
Pliers
Screw driver

1. Begin by placing the water hose grip on a flat surface.
2. Hold the grip with pliers and pry it open using a screw driver.

The ring is adjustable so you can wear it on any toe or finger that you want. At the bottom of the ring there will be a small hole, possibly a place for a jewel or embellishment.

The DIY Lace Headband

Stuff you need:

Elastic lace

Needle and thread

1. Put the lace around your head and tighten until you feel it fits right. Cut 2 cm more than where it fits right.

2. Sew the 2 ends together and wear.

I love lace.
