Vintage V-Necks

This throwback to the 60’s is super easy.
Here is what you do:
• Grab a few old white V-Necks
• Get a tie dye kit from your local craft store. I have heard that spray paint works just as well. Though I haven’t tried it.
• Get a box of soda ash either from a local craft store, local grocery store detergent aisle, or swimming pool supply store.
• A bucket that holds about 2 gallons of water
• A clean work space where it doesn’t hurt to get it a little messy
Procedure:
1. Wash your v-necks
2. Using your bucket follow the directions that come with your soda ash. Let the V-necks soak in the gallon of water and soda ash for about 20 minutes. I wouldn't skip this step because it helps the dye adhere to the v-neck.

3. Using rubber bands fold or roll your shirts. Experiment with a variety of patterns. Some of the ones I used are the spiral, the sunburst, and the bull’s eye.

4. Follow the instructions with your dye kit about how to mix your dye.

5. After you have tie dyed your shirts wrap them in saran wrap and let them sit for 10-15 hours in a cool damp place.

6. After the 10-15 hours rinse out the shirts. I did this by hanging them on clothes line and spraying them down with the hose.

7. Let them dry out and them wash them in the washer and dryer.
8. Enjoy your colorful new creation!!
