Dying Passion T-shirt

Ever since my sister brought home a bottle of purple Rit NOTHING has been safe from my dying obsession. I told you here that I was going to share my ombre dip dye ikea foot stools, but I will start by showing you my "tester" which is one of my dying favorites (actually, who am I kidding, I love them all).



I am not a sucker for instructions, I tend to not follow them, sometimes for the better... others... not so much.
Well for this little tester I def didn't, and it turned out fine, but you should prob follow the instructions on your colors to be sure you will get a good result.
I started by adding some salt (I just tossed some in the bucket) with abt 3 liters of really hot water (my T is cotton so it can take warm water. Then I added a bit of Rit, about 1/5th of the bottle.
I dipped the T 2/3rd's up. I just dipped it and didn't leave it in. Then I added some more Rit and dipped the T but not as far up. Keep adding more Rit and dipping less and less of the T. I left the last few inches in the bucket to get the dark color.
Then I rinsed the T in cold water till there water was no longer colored and hung it up to dry (you prob don't have to dry it before washing it, but I just wanted to see what it looked like). Then I washed it in the washer.

No need to waste perfectly good Rit water, ill show you what I used it for later.

  5. This is so cute, as always! Now that school's out, I'm definitely getting my hands dirty doing some DIY's and starting up my blog. This is on the top of my list of things to do, maybe to some white shorts. (:
