Daily Idea #27: No Mess Tye Dye

Tye Dying was always an exciting day at camp; the blank T-shirts turning into beautiful works of art always fascinated me. But let’s be honest, it is messy and as an adult, it’s an activity that I loathe!

Why not bring the fun back (while keeping it fairly mess-free)?

Things you’ll need—

baby wipes

hair ties or rubber bands

Washable markers

Tie up the baby wipe

Take the square baby wipe and fold it into a rectangle or a triangle (experiment with different ways to fold it). Tie off as many sections as you’d like with the rubber bands/ponytail holders.

Color it in

Color the different sections with whatever colors you’d like.

Really get in there

Make sure you really get in the cracks with your markers.

Take the bands off

Take off the rubber bands/ponytail holders and open up the baby wipe to reveal your Tye Dye creation.

Make a bunch!

Try different ways to tie off the wipe and use different colors to Tye Dye. Let them dry and hang them or send them as a gift to someone.
