Family Tie Dye Event

Every so often, we like to do activities with all the kids.  Well, my mind is currently drawing a blank at what we did last year with the kids besides chalk paint, which Skye has informed me is not fun.

Anyway, the first family event of this summer, crazy summer that it has been so far with the COVID-19 happening, was tie dye.  I purchased the kit through Amazon (I think).  The t-shirts were purchased from Walmart.  

There were a number of ways we could of used the tie dye kit I purchased.  I could of used it as a powder with ice to ice dye our shirts, but with 6 of us, I was afraid that would use up the powder before everyone was able to dye their shirts.  So we went with the liquid option, which meant mixing each bottle with water.  

Simple enough.  Just don't forget to put gloves on for this part as my hands were stained for a while afterward and even after the dye was off my hands, I looked like I had something weird going on with the cuticles around my finger nails for even longer.  Learn from my mistakes, trust  me.  Some fingers looked like they had a weird fungus and some looked like they were bleeding.
