Tie dye Thursday

A while back, I re-dyed a bunch of dark blue clothes that had turned grey after many washings. Noah wanted to try tie dye so we threw in a t-shirt in the lot. This t-shirt he has worn every week since, and would probably prefer that we would go to twice weekly laundry schedule so that he could wear it more often.
On Thursday, we decided to make a few new shirts, since the first one can no longer be classified as anything but periwinkle blue or light purple... yet, it does not seem to deter Noah, the careful dresser, one bit.
Thanks to friends who moved, we had tie dye kits with gloves, bottles, rubber bands and dye. Noah and his good friend Davis set out to make 'cool' shirts. Davis' brother Mitchell joined in the fun, whereas Lukas excused himself to the garage and his work bench.
Noah wrapped and tied his shirt, making a small and compact package and then set out to pour on color. At the end, I was worried that the entire shirt would be a muddled black as a result of the many layers of colors that he poured on.
The next day, we washed his shirt, per instructions, and we could have added twice as much color to the shirts.. little did I know.. Regardless, Noah is very happy with his shirts, and he now has three that he rotates through each week until next tie dye event. Maybe he needs some private lessons from his Aunt Bev.. some tips and techniques of the trade..
