DIP-DYE shirt

I'm well aware that there are many videos or tutorials on how to dip-dye your shirt, but I just want to share mine. You can choose any shirt or button-down shirt that you want, as long you won't regret using it haha! So, I chose my v-neck shirt and button down shirt from SPLASH. "Didn't notice that it's both green -.-"  anyways. this design looks better on summer time, unluckily, winter is already coming here in UAE. But you can make many of this shirts, then wear it when summer comes. aha aha aha! :D 

Button down shirt 


badum tss! 

v-neck shirt



MATERIALS: 
  • shirt that you will use
  • hot water "really hot"
  • bleach 
  • bucket "any bucket will do, as long as the shirt can fit in it" 
  • 15 minutes of your time haha!
INSTRUCTIONS :
  1. fill the bucket with hot water, about 2 litres. then add 1 cup of bleach. "Be careful with the bleach, it can harm your skin" 
  2. get your shirt, and hold the part that won't be dyed. "it's up to you which part you will dye, as for my button down, I hold it in a slanting position. "
  3. dip the shirt into the bucket. "The bucket is hot and filled with bleach, so be careful humans" 
  4. make sure that the whole shirt won't fall into the bucket, then wait for 10 mins "if you're not satisfied with the result or the color of the dyed part is still yellowish, add more bleach" 
  5. then after, 10 mins, wash the shirt with water. Don't stop until the water is clear. hang it, let it dry, then wash it again. " with your preferred soap"
