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!

Inkblot T-shirt!

Here is a fun and colorful way to simultaneously teach your kids about symmetry and creativity that they can also wear!

The t-shirts are modeled after the Rorschach inkblot tests. The idea of this craft is that you and your child scatter colored drops of paint on a shirt, fold it in half, and open it back up to see the vibrant creation you have just made! The kids will learn about symmetry and why mixing colors produce new or different hues of color. Plus, it is also fun to re-purpose old t-shirts that are still in wearable condition!

If you do not have any fabric paint on hand, Joann Fabrics sells it for about $2-$10 depending on the bottle's brand. In my past experiences with fabric paint and iron on designs, it's best to let the material air dry after it has gone through the washing machine. This craft can get a little messy, and I strongly urge you to cover your clothes or wear old clothes because fabric paint will stain just about anything.
