There is no better surprise than a DIY tie-dye! The uniqueness of tie-dye means that every piece comes out with a different pattern and design. It is the perfect way to upcycle old clothes which is exactly why I decided to tie-dye an old hoodie.
To get started on this tie-dye transformation, I wrapped and tied up the jumper with some string. You can definitely use elastic bands in this step instead of string.
Before adding the dye, I added some dye salt to the water.
I then added some black dye to the solution and placed my jumper in the tub. I left the jumper to soak for about 3 hours.
Next, I unwrapped the hoodie and rinsed it under cold water.
I then popped the hoodie in the washing machine for a quick wash.
I decided to add a pop of color to my hoodie. I tied it with string again and then added some tulip pink dye to a new solution.
Once again, I left the hoodie to soak and then rinsed it under cold water.
The tie-dye and pop of color looked absolutely amazing! I love a bit of sparkle so I hand sewed a few crystal stones on each side of the hoodie’s pocket.
