I'm going to make my own rings and tie dye a shirt! :D
I've always wanted to try tie dying but I didn't know where to get the supplies and I didn't know exactly how to tie the shirt properly to achieve the desired kind of tie dye i want.
I don't really like the extremely hippie sort, with a lot of colours and circles and what not.
The kind of tie dye I like is just sort of like a crumpled, grungy look. The thing is, I don't even know how to achieve that kind of tie dye look.
So anyway, I went to Art Friend yesterday and found dyes! :D
So I got one, and afterwards I got a plain white tee from F21 to experiment.
I just tried tie dying it and it's not that easy lol. You have to really make sure not to get the dye somewhere where it'd stain, cos the dye won't come off. I wore gloves, but I took them off at one point and my hands are a little stained with the dye now hahahahahaha.
The shirts turned out not as good as I wanted them to be, but it isn't too bad, so I don't regret trying this out :D
The shirt!
The dye. I used Dylon Cold dye in French Navy :)
The results! Yay!
Will post pictures of the DIY-ed rings (4 of them) when I'm done with them, 2 of them are simple where you just stick the pendant thingy onto the ring, but I'm afraid i'll need to ask my aunt for help for the other 2 which requires wiring or threading which i am clueless about :x
So I'm guessing they won't be completed that soon :x
Okay, I'm quite drained now cos I haven't eaten anything yet so I don't have anymore drive to blog lololol. Goodbyeeeee peopleeee! :D
