DIY: How to Make a Tie-Dyed Top and Hippy Party

Today, my post is not an outfit of the day as usual. I am going to share with you guys how I tie-dyed the top from yesterday's post and my hippy party! The pictures that were taken were quite sporadic, so I'll try to make it as clear as possible, but in cases like this, YouTube and Google are your best friend for more details.
How to make a super cool tie-dye top
STEP 1: Buy supplies
You'll need salt, water, dye (I used Dylon hand dyes), 100% cotton shirts, rubber bands, plastic gloves, apron, buckets and stirring utensils.
STEP 2: Prepare the dyes

STEP 3: Do the tying

YouTube has a wealth of tutorials showing how to tie up the shirt

STEP 4: Do the dying

STEP 5: Reveal and finish!

My hippy/tie-dye party
I did all this tie-dying as part of my birthday celebrations. I feel like this party really exemplifies who I am at the moment (a wannabe free spirit) and it was very fun. I got everyone to dress up in a hippy style and everyone looked great!. Here is my outfit - I did not actually take any proper outfit post images, so here are just some pictures that I cropped out from some of my friend's images.

I did my hair by doing two French plaits when my hair was wet. Then I removed the plait at the bottom of the hair and pinned the top.

Earrings - Xmas market, necklace - China, top - DIY, skirt - mum's

All in all, I recommend everyone to do some tie-dying or have a tie dye party to spruce up so old clothes as it's really quite a cheap hobby, fun to do with friends and creates some very effective results

PEACE!

P.S. I moved this to this PeaaBrained blog as I thought it was more fitting.
P.S.S. Here are some bonus pictures that I converted into GIFs from the party because its fun to do that.
