Kool-Aid Tie-Dye

In case the wholesomeness of Kool-Aid wasn't already questionable . . . . Check out what great tie-dye it makes! 

Wear gloves so that your hands do not not get stained. 
• The formula for each color is:
   ~>
1 oz. vinegar per 1 package of Kool-Aid
   ~> Mix until dissolved.
• Mix in squeeze bottles for easiest application.
• Pull and twist your T-shirt into different shapes and secure with rubber bands.

• Saturate areas gathered by the rubber bands with a color.  Keep the rubber bands on and set t-shirts in the sun to dry. You and your child can try as many different colors as you like—just be sure to let each color dry before moving on to the next.

• When all colors are completely dry, remove all of the rubber bands and hang the shirts outside to dry.

To set the colors, iron your totally dry shirts on medium-high, using an ironing cloth (a cotton rag will work just as well too) between the shirt and the iron. 

• Let the shirt set for 24 hours before washing. To be safe, wash separately the first time.
• Once it's washed it's ready to wear!


Thank you to Lisa for finding this!
