tiedye experiment

I was at Ross and saw a tiedye kit and got the idea in my head that we should tiedye the Sacred Peace Walk shirts.  So we bought a tiedye kit, I researched well how to do the spiral, we bought some larger rubber bands than the kit provides, we bought paper plates, a plastic table cloth...

So we were all ready.  And last night we finally tiedyed!  It was a little unnerving to get the all steps right, and it was getting dark (we were working on the picnic table outside).  So we didn't take any pictures this time.  And we let the clothes sit overnight in the oven because that's the warmest place in this house. 

This morning when we took everything apart to rinse it out on the sink, we saw we used not enough dye.  The shirts look pretty good but there's a lot of white left.  Maybe when we wash them a few times in the washer, the extra dye will dye the white parts a little bit.  Hope so.

Someone already has their clothes in the washer this morning, so we're waiting.  I will show you pics after.
