Before, I showed the links on how to refashion a normal t-shirt without adding a stitch! Today, I will show you how I tie-dyed the various projects and show you what my finished product looked like.
I purchased a tie-dye kit from Wal-Mart for $15, but the kit dyes up to 20 shirts! Remember you need to let the dye sit for 24 hours! Once 24 hours has passed rinse as much dye out as you can in a sink, and then put through a wash cycle on cold to make sure that none of the dye gets on any clothes you wear the shirts with.
The Workout Tank Top:
On this piece, I decided to go for the bullseye!
Here is a site that illustrates the steps

The Vest:
I wanted this to be something that I could throw on with a variety of outfits, so I did a fold tie-dye
This technique is really simple. All you need to do is create thick pleats (like you are making a fan) and put rubber bands around it. I dyed mine with blue so it goes with a lot.
The Halter Top:
I created the classic swirl on my halter.
This guy does a really good explanation on how to tie the spiral, but for the actual dying process, I just randomly squirted the dye from the bottles in my kit and got a great result!

Since there were 6 shirts for $10, and a pack of tie-dye split between 2 people for $15, each t-shirt refashion ended up being only around $4!
