At our family reunions, we help the kids tie dye shirts. Years past, we've had a lot of fun, but the shirts tend to be pretty blah after the first wash. This year we tried dye applied in squirt bottles. The shirts were soaked in an ash solution first (to help the fabric absorb the dye) and then after the dye was squirted on, we let them sit overnight in a plastic bag. We got some incredible shirts- and the colors were popping cute. The kids love to do their own shirts and so each one is unique and beautiful. I think worth the extra time involved.
- By the way, that's a pipe-cleaner crown on Nacho that the girls are showing off. I think we'll do it again next year.

I love Kyt's it's so vivid and looks like something you would buy in a store and not at a yard sale. :)
