Galactic Tye Dye!

Here's an out of this world "twist" on ye old-fashioned tye dye technique! I think the example in the photos look like a nebulous, which is basically a colorful cloud of chemicals deep in space that look really cool! Check out the Milky Way for more info.

Any who, here is the link with detailed information: http://alldaychic.com/galaxy-twist-dye-bleach-shirt-diy/. CAUTION: you only need drops of bleach, and I DO NOT recommend doing this anywhere in your house except for possibly the bathtub or a designated work bench.

Enjoy!
