Today’s Project
On the eleventh day of our 12 Days of Christmas in July Giveaway, my true love gave to me…this Tie Dye Socks Tutorial from iLoveToCreate!
These easy-to-follow tie dye instructions will make your summer just a bit brighter. Make sure to set the tie dye in your socks before wearing or else you will have very colorful feet.
MATERIALS
- Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit in Neon Colors
- White cotton socks
- Tulip Surface Cover
INSTRUCTIONS
- Wrap your socks as desired with rubber band from the kit.
- Thoroughly wet your socks, then wring them out.
- Mix up your dyes and shake them well until all of the powder is dissolved.
- Time to dye! Lay out your surface cover, place your socks on it, and begin to saturate them with dye.
- Once they are fully saturated, fold over the surface cover and let your socks set for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Once they have sat for the appropriate amount of time, remove the socks from the plastic cover and rinse them under water. Rinse until the water runs clear.
- Remove the rubber bands and wash the socks in the washing machine on cold with a little detergent. You can either line dry your socks or use your regular dryer, and you are finished!
Tie Dye is the best summer craft, and Tulip‘s kits make it easy. Three mini dye kits and one classic dye kit will keep you busy with up to 18 projects to create. Keep the colors in their “Fiesta,” “Preppy,” “Princess,” and “Classic” categories, or switch up the bottles and make your own color combinations.
