DIY Sun burst tie dye shirt

Hey guys! I back with another DIY. Tie dye is a staple piece in my closet and it's extremely easy to make. I wanted to make something different instead of the same spiral one I always make so I ended up doing a sun burst kind of shirt. Well anyways, enjoy!


 
Materials needed:
- Gloves      - Bucket
- Rit dye      - Rubber bands
- White T-shirt
Steps:
1. You're going to start to put rubber bands on your shirt. Pinch a piece of the shirt and let it hang, place the rubber band an inch away from your finger. (see in picture below)





2. Prepare the dye. Follow the instruction on your dye bottle because every dye is different and remember to wear gloves! I used hot water because the color stays better.
3. Place the shirt in the dye for about 10 to 15 minutes! When the time is up, spray the shirt with the hose until the water runs clear. 
4. Take the rubber bands off.
 5. WASH THE SHIRT SEPARABLY OR HAND WASH
That's it! I hope you enjoyed this DIY.

DIY American flag shorts



Materials needed:
- A pair of light wash shorts
- Red and Blue tie dye
- Bleach
- Tape
- Empty spray bottle

Steps:
1. Pour bleach into the empty spray bottle and spray the bleach all over the front side of your shorts. You can spray every 20 minutes until the shorts are almost completely white and wait til they're dry before continuing the next step.
2. Take your tape and cut out strips for the stripes on the flag. Choose one side of the shorts to place the strips, you can have as many strips as you like.
3. On the other side of your shorts will be the stars. Take your tape and draw stars on them and then cut them out. Place them on the shorts anywhere you like.TAPE OFF THE REST OF THE SHORTS SO DYE DOESN'T BLEED. (mistake I made)
4. Since you won't be needing the bleach anymore, dump the rest of it back into its original container. Take the red dye and pour it into the spray bottle. Obviously stripes are red so start spraying the stripe side of the shorts with the red dye. DO NOT spray a lot or the dye will bleed through, spray every 5 minutes or so.
5. Dump the red dye and pour the blue dye into the spray bottle, repeat the same step (number 4).
6. When completely dry, take the tape off and hand wash your shorts.

There you have it! Your own DIY American flag shorts, you're official ready for the 4th of July! Please feel free to ask any questions and I hope you enjoy!

DIY Floral headband


Hey guys! I've been extremely busy and I made this DIY a while back but never up loaded it. Lately I've been obsessing over mulberry paper roses because there are endless projects that you can make with these. Well anyways, since it's summer, you'll probably see a lot of floral crowns so this is my version. It's a nice way to make a outfit look chic and classy. I hope you enjoy!

Materials:
- Mulberry paper roses (I got mine from amazon)
- A plain headband

 STEPS:
1. Take your paper roses (there should be a wire end to it) and wrap the wire around the headband.
2. Keep doing this until you've reached the desired length of the roses.
Simple as that!
