Project Summer;DIY Dip Dye Shorts!

Want to follow the dip dye trend? want something original but fun? Then heres something you should defiantly try! I've always wanted a pair of distressed, fun, dip dye denim shorts but never found a pair that i absolutely loved enough to actually purchase them. So I came up with a way to turn any old shorts into amazing new ones that will revamp your wardrobe for this summer! Lets get started!..

What You'll need..
-Boiling water
-Rubber Gloves
-Salt
-Dye (I chose Turquoise and purple)
-Wooden spoon
-Bowl
-pair of shorts










First Step- Colour One.

1- dissolve a good amount of salt into boiling water.

2- put in dye and dissolve that in water too

3- place the desired amount of fabric into the dye (i did about half way up)and soak in the liquid for a good 10-15 minutes.

4- hang on the washing line while you clean the bowl/boil more water and prepare second dye.






Second step- colour Two.

1- Dissolve more salt in boiling water and dissolve second dye in clean bowl/bucket.

2- Clip the shorts to the bowl while dying the reming parts of the shorts you didn't dye with the first colour.

3- leave to soak for the same amount of time and hang out on the washing line to dry.

Third Step!!

When the shorts are Completely Dry, just do the usual wash in the washing machine and tumble dry them. Now they're ready!!

Extra tips..

- Always wear Gloves & old clothes, it can get messy!!
- Make sure you have enough time and don't rush it, or it won't be as good!
- you don't have to use all of the dye at once, it will be a waste of dye and you can save it for any other things!
- Get creative!!
