DIY: Dip dye Shorts.

Hi everyone! 

Summer is here. Well, not in Malaysia. XD The fashion trend in summer. :P Have you seen before dip dye shorts? Here, try DIY your dip dye shorts! You can choose your favourite bright colors and you can play with beautiful bright colors! 

Dip dye shorts are super fun to make! I think i wanna try to make them! :D




ALL YOU'LL NEED; 
- Shorts (try shopping at a local thrift shop. for a hipster look, get jeans and cut them into shorts. then, play with the bottom and pull the strings on the bottom.)
 - dye
- water (if you want it deep, boil the water. if you want it light, don't boil it.)
- bucket
- old pillow case (to dry. if you have a clothingline you can use that.)

#1 Start off with using old clothes where you don't care if they get ruined or get dye on.
#2 Boil the water. (skip this step if you want light colors)
#3 Pour the water into a bucket and as much dye as you want.
#4 If you want a tie dye effect, tie parts of the shorts. if you just want a solid color, skip this step.
#5 Using gloves, dip half of the shorts into the bucket. sink it in for about a minute.
#6 Pour out the dye from the bucket,rinse it out, then pour more hot/cold water in the bucket (repeat step 3)
#7 Repeat step 5.
#8 Throw them in a old pillow case and put them in the dryer to dry.

And you'll get your DIY dip dye shorts!
Have fun! :D


Till then,
