Welcome once again to Sunday Fun. This week, I scoured the net to find something fun and creative for my girls that I wouldn't have to go buy out half the craft store. That's when I found this nifty idea HERE*. I remember as a teenager tie-dying shirts in home ec and believe me this craft is much easier - no expensive dyes to buy or anything. And believe it or not, I had everything on hand!
You'll need the following items:
- Bleach and water
- Squirt bottle
- Colored towel
- Rubber bands
- Large bucket of water to rinse
STEPS
Step 1: Using the rubber bands, tie up the towel. Try various ways of twisting the towel to get different patterns.
Step 2: Fill squirt bottle with a mixture of equal parts bleach and water. Then spray the tied areas of the towel. Let it sit for about a minute or til you see the bleach working. Then use the bucket of clean water to rinse. The article also mentions to use a separate bucket for each towel.
Step 3: Then wash and dry the towels as usual.

*This idea I got off of Parentingteens.about.com as well as the pictures.

Awesome! I think i can do this method to dye towels in our spa. Some of them are already fading, but we don't want to just replace them because their quality is still good.
