Summer fun: tie-dye style With the hot weather here and the kids at home for summer break, this is a great time to get together as a family and have a bit of quality creative time. One of my favourite projects to do with the family is T-shirt tie-dye. It’s inexpensive and the T-shirts always work out, no matter what the design.
Prices in effect from Saturday, July 27 to Thursday, August 1, 2013

How to tie-dye • Set up a dying station for the project. Outside works best as dyes will not only dye the shirts but also any other fabric or surface they come in contact with. Cover the table you are working on with the plastic tablecloth and have some paper towels on hand for any runaway spills. • Start your T-shirt by choosing what kind of pattern you would like. Each design will give different results. Once you have picked the design then tie your t-shirt in the desired pattern with the rubber bands. The twisty knot: In this design, you twist the shirt like you are wringing it out and then tie a knot in the middle. This design does not require any rubber bands and gives the appearance of tiger stripes running through the middle of the shirt with more solid colours at the top and the bottom. The brain: In this design the creativity and random chance rules. The T-shirt is scrunched and squished (not folded) into a brain-like shape and then tied with elastic bands until it resembles a ball.
