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.

What a great idea you have to fix a white stained hoodie! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I do that to my son's stained white shirts all the time to give them a second chance for wear.
My suggestion is to make sure before you dye, to wash your shirt and not use fabric softener. It tends to keep the color from adhering to the fabric fibers causing fading .
I love the sheets. Will this work on microfiber sheets?
