These past few months I've had so much fun working for
ilovetocreate's Tie Die Your Summer campaign. Up and down the coast of California I went where I was called, an apron on and squirt dyes in hand. Working the tie dye booth for iltc, I calculated that I assisted the dying of 2000 tie dye shirts (certificate please). And since I had such unfettered access to dye, I kept going! I dyed everything-clothes, duvets, pillows, and even threw my best friend a baby shower where everyone dyed a onsies for her little one. This post is all the projects that didn't get posted over the summer. They kinda just fell off my plate of things to do but here they are, a little dyeing inspiration for all my crafty friends out there. Get a kit and go for it!
